No, it cannot "act as" a netinst CD, or rather that expression really does
not make any sense. A full CD basically is a netinst CD + a significant
number of additional packages. A netinst contains only packages necessary
to install a base system; a full CD contains that + standard packages +
packages for various tasks.
You can indeed use the KDE/Xfce CDs together with the set, but to ensure
you have all packages available, you need the _whole_ set, including CD1!
There will be some overlap between the KDE/Xfce CDs and other CDs in the
set, but that overlap is spread across multiple other CDs from the set.
And thus it cannot replace CD1.

They can be shipped _with_ the while set, just not as an _alternative_ to
CD1.
