We (Josef) are slowly working on it.

Yeah, there's some code in KDE 4
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdegames/libkdegames/kggznet/
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdegames/libkdegames/kggzmod/

As far as i know KReversi is already using ggz in some way.

KSnakeRace has been killed for KDE 4 due to low quality and no mantainer 
available.

Yeah, but that'll probably have to wait for KDE 4.1. Our release schedule for 
KDE 4.0 sets "1 June 2007" as Feature Freeze date so not sure we can do that 
for KDE 4.0
