Which platforms don't have PolicyKit yet? Except for windows and mac, I was 
under the impression that everyone had access to it in some way. At any rate, 
a PolicyKit library for windows would likely return 'authenticated' for 
everything and leave the actual authentication up to the OS (which would end 
up automatically using Vista's UAC for instance).

Regardless, very few if any applications in KDE use PolicyKit right now. We 
aren't asking to include a new library for everyone to suddenly start using, 
just the policy management GUI bits to encourage future use of PolicyKit in 
KDE.
