Yeah. I vaguely remember there being some talk about porting the 
certificate manager to KDE 4. Apparently, this never happened.

I have found the following relevant files:
~/.kde/share/config/ksslcertificates
~/.kde/share/config/ksslcalist
~/.kde/share/config/ksslpolicies
~/.kde/share/apps/kssl/ca-bundle.crt

I have no idea how to add a certificate to those files.
