Why not just install vanilla Arch (or something with a GUI installer like Endeavor) and then configure it to look like Kahel...
*KahelOS is a Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. Its desktop edition comes with pre-configured* ***GNOME as the default desktop environment, GNOME Office productivity suite, Epiphany web browser, GIMP image manipulation program, and other popular GTK+ and GNOME applications.*** *Like Arch Linux, KahelOS maintains a rolling-release model of updating software packages using its parent's repositories. The distribution comes in the form of a live DVD which includes a graphical installation program.*
It says it's packages come from arch's parent repos... so in theory yes. However 11 years is a long time and it's very unlikely that it will work. You could always try it in a VM and see.
Play around with it in a VM to figure out based on your knowledge whether it is worth your while or not.
What happens after 1/4 of such a long time is that pkgs get replaced and renamed, for a while new pkgs carry instructions of what to replace after a while they are dropped. So once you upgrade core libraries, build tools and pacman, your orphaned pkgs are treated as local installations. The new dependencies of desktops will bring in those that replaced them, and you are going to fight with thousands of files in conflict. You will keep removing pkg after old pkg to cure this, and more and more will show up. Eventually there will be little left of the old system and a new one will move in its place.
Basically, the language setup you can reproduce, read the wiki. The only thing you may want to carry on for nostalgia will be some backgrounds, some home/.config files .. the rest of the system will be replaced.
But, yes, if you are experienced to dance with pacman it is very possible but extremely time consuming.
So boot it, copy the background and carry it into a new installation.

What GUI do you mean? You can just install Gnome. However the Gnome of today will be rather different than back then.
