There is being worked on one; http://rekonq.sourceforge.net/ 

I don't know if it will be a default browser but it makes an good
alternative for Konqueror anyway. :)

I'm working on getting it properly packaged for Fedora. I got an older
package wrapped up here: http://berkenpies.nl/rekonq/ (spec needs work for
the new version, 0.1.0, and I have to make sure I got everything covered
for review). The plan is to get it in to review before the end of next
week.
