There is no standard test on memory consumption that will compare different 
software groups. IMHO, majority of the talk on the net is just noise from 
technical point of view. 

Currently the only way to know how it works on your computer is to try. 
You can install KDE4 on 11.0, and use Build Service repository to update to 
newest version. I did that for quite some time with openSUSE 10.3. 

Here you will find few links to repositories:
http://en.opensuse.org/KDE4

If you want to make sure that it will not mess you current settings, create 
new user using YaST Users, and log in to that user.
