It depends what you want to do. Asking for just xorg-x11-base should give
you a working X installation, which is needed for KDE. ("Cygwin/X is a port
of the X Window System to Cygwin. Base package used to select enough
packages for a working installation.")
Note that this is the wrong list to ask questions about getting Cygwin/X
working. See http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/lists.html for info on the
cygwin-xfree list. Also, KDE is not available via setup so you will
probably have to go to http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/ to get KDE/Cygwin
and may need to ask your KDE questions there.
