I am. However only on my local disk and still in a KDE3 version:
I have (mostly) completed a KGame port, that finally enables the 
implementation of a clean computer player + gives network games for free.

However since I don't have much time these days, I don't think I am going to 
start a KDE4 port somewhen soon, so feel free to do so.

The current AI sucks ans is not worth working on. That would be a waste of 
time: the design is terribly flawed and just plain ugly.
