Quoting the documentation for okular in kde 4.1 and recent trunk:
Save As...
Save the currently open file under a different name using the document 
backend. With the PDF-backend (Poppler >= 0.8 required) it is possible to 
save the document with the changed values of the form fields.

Okular stores your annotations in a xml file named foo.nameofpdf.xml in
~/.kde/share/apps/okular/docdata/.

Okular from recent trunk (which will be in kde 4.2) has a new menu item 
File->Export as->Document Archiv.

This exports the PDF-File with your annotations into a zip archiv to share 
them with others.

Thanks for your hint, I'll try to add it to the docs.
