Maybe I didn't understand something, but if you don't need a graphical GUI then you don't need to install KDE or anything alike, I (personal opinion) would even recommend not to install it at all (or now deinstall it). Then your runlevel "problem" will not even appear. If you install the GUI stuff, you can log in remotely and run the GUI on a remote system (e.g., via vnc). Otherwise you cannot. Installing it leaves the option open.
And costs absolutely nothing. You do not even need to run X; just ssh -X {servername} and you can run the GUI utilities to your local display. X is awesome.
I have also installed freeNX on headless machines and then can use the NX client on any machine even a Windows client to get a full working login from anywhere connected to the internet. DC
