It is not possible. The main problems why it won't work:

- different Zope version, changes in API
- totally different version of Archetypes, all templates need to be 
changed one after the other
- there was a full kss namespace change meanwhile

You can use the "PloneAzax" 1.1 bundle (kss 1.1 works with Zope 2.9 and 
Plone 2.5). That is the backport we made once. The svn branch links to 
the newest javascript code, so you get all client side improvements, 
however some server side functionality (like server side events) has not 
existed at the time of the backport.

At one point we plan to do a new backport of the development version to 
Plone 2.5. There is nothing that would disable kss working on Plone 2.5, 
it's only a lot of work to do the backport and then maintain the branch. 
In case you'd like to help with backporting the new version (for which, I 
believe, we should wait at least till beta2) I'd be glad to accept your 
help.

(p.s. the 1.1 branch is used in production servers so at least the core 
framework is considered to be stable. However we don't have enough free 
time to do the necessary maintenance.)
