The package you are looking for will most likely be named "kde-desktop" 
or "kubuntu-desktop".  It's a meta package that will include all the kde 
goodies that you are normally used to.  Just keep in mind that after the 
install, you'll want to log out and choose kde instead of gnome as your 
default session at your login screen.  As far as your programs, 
installing kde will do just that, install kde.  Nothing that you 
currently have installed on that machine will be uninstalled.  Further, 
any program you have on there should run fine under either environment 
since you have both library sets installed.
