Ah, nevermind, apparently there's a terribly-worded checkbox in kcontrol you have to enable.

Both Konqueror url=zeroconf:/ and AmaroK fail to show the zeroconf/DAAP services on the network (Konqueror claims to see 0 servers). It seems to be a problem with the KDE-Avahi bindings, because Avahi works fine (as evidenced by running avahi-discover).
