There is no development for this going on in KDE's svn at least. There were a 
few people interested in doing this as a GSoC project, unfortunately we 
didn't get enough slots for that. So, you might find a few others interested 
in developing this together with you.

An implementation would usually consists of the following parts:
- Talking to the google server. This is usually the hardest part, but the 
mentioned libgcal library should cover that already I guess.
- Converting data to and from KCal objects 
(http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/kcal/html/classKCal_1_1Incidence.html). 
Usually pretty straightforward for most parts, converting recurrences might 
be a bit tricky however, depending on how this is done in gcalendar.
- Writing an Akonadi resource 
(http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/akonadi/html/classAkonadi_1_1ResourceBase.html) 
to connect gcalendar to Akonadi.
