There are no trains to take you all the way across Cambodia (and none at all in Laos should you choose to go through there), so you'll need to use some other transport at least some of the way :). But you can take the train from KL to Bangkok and from Bangkok to the Cambodian border, both nice rides.

Yeah, there used to be a weekly train from Battambang to Phnom Penh, but it stopped running this January, at least for the time being (I'd guess for a long time, if not forever).

You could do something similar to the following and avoid flying ...
KL to Bangkok by train,
Bus to Trat,
Minivan or bus to Cambodian border and Koh Kong,
Ferry from Koh Kong to Sihanoukville (great trip!),
Sihanoukville to Saigon by bus (long trip!).
