No, they are not.
First hit (Development/Tutorials/Git):
"Although KDE is currently using SVN, we're working on moving to git."
Doesn't sound like something up-to-date I feel like relying on.
The "Getting started" section lists more links to other articles.

Second hit (Development/Tutorials/Git/BestPractices):
Well, it's basically empty.

Third hit (Development/Tutorials/Git/Intermediate):
Hmm, basically empty too.

4th hit (Getting_Started/Sources/Amarok_Git_Tutorial):
Talks about amarok. I'm currently not interested in amarok in this regard.
Does this apply to the rest of KDE or kdesupport ?

Ok, as long as there is no howto count me out of caring about keeping 
kdesupport building.

This is what Brad from Kitware has written when they migrated cmake and their 
other projects from cvs or svn to git:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/Git
http://public.kitware.com/Wiki/Git

If I need to check something for how to deal with git for cmake, I can go 
there and look.
Still there were quite a few questions on the cmake-devel list (not only, but 
also from me) how to do something with git and how to handle issues which 
arise. And this with much less developers than KDE has and apparently much 
better documentation than we have.

I'm afraid we need similar or several of our developers will have problems.
