Yep, it should be possible and it should not be very difficult from what I see. 
Just I'm not sure it's really worth now - if someone wants to try it out - 
there's possibility to build own KDE trunk and especially rebuild Active on top 
of it in a higher frequency than we could rebuild it in Fedora. But I'd like to 
try it at least - it would be great to have at least something easily 
installable for other input for upstream.
