PenguinBait released a full KDE desktop. There are lots of threads in the Alternatives forum (where this thread should probably be, too), but here's a good one to start with.
Easy Debian comes with an LXDE desktop, which is sort of Gnome Lite.
There are also some other very lightweight desktops, like FVWM.

Probably not. The internal flash of the N8x0 is rather small (256MB), and most of the alternative desktops take up a fair bit of room. You'll want to pick up an SD card at some point, though, anyhow. 8GB cards can be found from dealers such as NCIX for <$30 on sale these days, and a 2-4GB card would probably be enough for some of the options.
EDIT: I stand corrected

SD cards are not all that expensive:
