Using KDE as your desktop environment should not use more power. I am basing this assertion on the fact that with my N810 just sitting here and looking at the CPU monitor - there is no CPU usage occuring.

However, I can easily imagine that slightly more power might be used if one were to go back and forth between Maemo and KDE repeatedly throughout the day - just because of the CPU usage while opening and shutting down KDE. I personally don't use Maemo desktop at all (I only use KDE).
