I think it's pretty clear if you look at the package, especially that
kdewebdev/README has the following lines:
Kommander: a GUI script builder and executor tool. Needed for some
Quanta functionality.
KFileReplace: powerful search and replace in multiple files
KXSLDbg: XSL debugger
KImageMapEditor: image map editor
KLinkStatus: link validity checker

About requirements, dependencies, read kdewebdev/PACKAGING.
And I extended Quanta now so on startup will warn you about all the
missing (possible) extensions telling you also what they are used for.
Cervisia is needed for the CVS operations.

Hm, explaining what kdelibs and qt is is something is not Quanta
specific at all, but we can do it. ;-) But maybe we need to explain
what is libc and the kernel then...

It depends what do you need. It will not update Cervisia, nor Kompare,
but will update all the applications that are in kdewebdev (logically).

Depends. Usually Quanta is compatible with the previous version of KDE,
so Quanta 3.3 runs on KDE 3.2 as well, but does not run on 3.1. Now
with 3.4 the situation is a little bit different as, altough untested,
I see no reason why Quanta 3.4 wouldn't run on KDE 3.2.

Well, let's gather the questions and we will filter out what is
important and frequently asked.

All we can give is information about how to do this from source. I think
we need such a section on the new site, be it in the FAQ or in a HOWTO.
So I propose: you (users) write the questions and what do you think
would be useful, we (the developers) will try to answer them and create
howtos.
