I think Ryan is correct - this appears to be a typo for .rpm - certainly
the rest of the filename you quoted is consistent with how an rpm
filename is constructed.

Certainly, if its the posting referenced at

http://www.talkroot.com/archive/topic/40768-1.html

which you are working from, this is a simple typo, the author appears to
suggest downloading both:

kdebase3-3.2.0-7.i586.rpm
kdebase3-kdm-3.2.0-7.i586.rpm

But if you still aren't convinced, you should probably take this to a
KDE list.
