That might be possible through X-Embed. This is basically part of the X11 
specification which allows embedding windows of one process into a window of 
another.
It is for example used by system tray or notification area implementations, 
i.e. to embed the windows (usually icons) of applications running in the 
background.

I suggest you'll ask on a developer mailinglist, e.g. kde-devel, to get more 
details.

Cheers,
Kevin

P.S.: one of the Kate developers is working on a VIM like input mode for Kate 
[1]. Might be worth investigating, KatePart can be embedded easily into any 
KDE application and even allows interaction between itself and the host app.
