I think it's a pity that GNOME 2.0 is not supported on HP-UX.
With GNOME 2.x in place, you most likely have FontConfig supported (and RENDER 
ported) on HP-UX.
And it seems, this is not the case.
Therefor, task of porting KDE 3.x to HP-UX becomes more difficult.

BUT:  does HP-UX plays a great role on Desktop?
I don't think so.
HP-UX is now migrating from PA-RISC architecture to Itanium 2.
AFAIK, you can also expect some features of Tru64 *NIX migrated to HP-UX, too.
(clustering, scalability, etc.)
But all this is about Servers.  
and as current roadmaps suggest following migration paths:

  Alpha ->  Itanium
 PA-RISC -> Itanium

It's somwhat more critical to get Linux working nicely on Itanium.  And port 
KDE 3.1/3.x to Itanium 2, too.

BTW:  does someone have Itanium 2-based workstation around?
Have you tried to get KDE 3.1 running on it?
