Is PolicyKit-kde not required for rawhide/f12?
I notice that there is no such package.

Yep, part of PolicyKitOne feature, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PolicyKitOne

So...
I guess this means that although gnome still has a separate package, polkit-gnome, kde no longer needs a special package?

Well, it means kde will use polkit-gnome , at least until jreznik finishes writing the new kde one (targeting kde-4.4 ish)

Hi, unfortunately we weren't able to prepare our Polkit 1 rewrite for F12 - we are always one step behind PolicyKit upstream as we depends on their work. Polkit-qt library is nearly ready to release, we went different path than old one. The old one was just one method for checking authorization + GUI part, now it's 1:1 mapping of Polkit-gobject-1 library to Qt. So it was more difficult but now we have ground for KAuth & KDE authentication agent. It should be really easy to write support! I hope next one, two weeks to release it and ship in Rawhide! For F12 we're going to use Gnome authentication agent but as Polkit us not so wide used in Fedora yet, it's not a big deal - PackageKit + some system configuration tools (kdump, services). In KDE 4.4. situation is going to change as lot of KDE system settings modules are going to use KAuth.

Thanks for the clarification :-) It's always good too know the whys and wherefores, as it makes setting up one's system easier.
