Yes, it is a similar script. However imho cvsExtract is more suitable for KEG. 
It is located in kdeextragear-1/scripts.

No, but you can included languages using the -l option.

I'm planning to allow a script to be run on the untarred, unzipped package 
directory. This script can move around as much files as you want.

Want kind of files do you want to move around? The only ones I can imaging are 
the GNU files (TODO, README, etc.), these are allready automatically moved.

It is not intended to replace cvs2dist, although I'm pretty sure the 
cvsExtract (and createPackage) will be much better suited for KEG:
1) You can specify different tags for translations, admin dir, source, etc. 
This is much needed because at the time of release of a KEG app, 
kde-common/admin might not be stable (so you will need to specify a tag for 
this).
2) If KEG is going to switch to Subversion, we need a specialized script that 
can deal with CVS and Subversion at the same time.

best,
Jeroen
