Not exactly, no. A framework is a bit more than just a library; AFAIK the term was used first by Apple to indicate something comparable to a (shared) library which is in fact a bundle containing the library binary and/or (the associated) headerfiles possibly combined with metadata and dependencies. In the OS X Finder you can manipulate these things because they pack everything under a single directory (which is even movable to some extent).
I doubt a bit that one could achieve that with the KDE Frameworks should it ever be a goal.
