There is a porting helper framework, I think called something like 
kde4support, that contains the classes that are no longer part of any 
framework but should be replaced with Qt classes.

E.g. it should contain KFileDialog which is succeeded by QFileDialog.

KConfigDialog is still an undeprecated class, it can be found in the 
kconfigwidgets framework.

I guess the porting page on the Wiki will grow as application developer find 
new things they were missing and found through research or asking.

Cheers,
Kevin
