No.

Reasons:

1) To use qobject_cast<KApplication*>, we need to link to libkdeui. Which we 
can't.

2) It's not Qt's place to determine what's good for KDE. But it is KDE's place 
to determine what's good for KDE.

3) Qt-only applications shouldn't be doing requires(KDE4)

4) The decision is a compile-time one, not run-time. That is, non-KDE code 
that may get loaded into a KDE application is allowed to use QHttp. But KDE 
code loaded into a Qt-only application shouldn't be using QHttp.

Examples are styles, like Oxygen.
