Kivio in KOffice 2 (the one for KDE4) is scheduled to have it, but given that 
there's only one person working on it at all (as far as I can make out) it's 
a long long road to go.

Well, no. That's some kind of paranoia speaking that has no bearing on the 
realities of KOffice development. The best thing for you to do, actually, 
would be to work on the Kivio2 branch in order to implement the tools there, 
and that gives you full ODF support as well.
