Providing you have the KDE libs required for konsole, there should be no 
problem.  I too prefer konsole (altho' do not expect the same type of 
use out of it that you want) and run that quite smoothly from within the 
GNOME DE.

What I have done is to add a konsole trigger to my "Windows" key on my 
keyboard.  I simply press the key and konsole pops up, and I can run any 
number of tabs if I choose.  Give it a try.  If it doesn't work, come 
back with the issues that it kicks up.
