Patterns are used by zypper too. I think you should try
zypper in -t pattern kde4
zypper rm -t pattern kde4

The following command will list all available patterns using zypper
zypper pt

The command 'zypper in (rm)' tries to install (remove) packages by default. 
kde4 is not a package.

You should also read this documentation up, will be of help:
