Yes, it basically is :) The style in kde-emacs was mostly what used to 
be used in kdelibs (also happened to be the style that two main authors 
of kde-emacs, David and I, really enjoy ;) ). 
For Qt hacking I also put the following two lines in my .emacs-dirvars 
file:
kde-emacs-after-parent-string: ""
evaluate: (c-set-offset 'inline-open '0)
the first one makes kde-emacs stop inserting a space after "(" and 
before ")". the second doesn't extra indent "{" for inline definitions 
which cc-mode does by default (and it looks really ugly :) ).

Adam on IRC suggested providing modelines for Kate and Vi users so that 
the style is automatically enforced like with kde-emacs. I think that's 
a great idea.
