No. If you'd like to work with KDevelop you can actually use it's
rather advanced Import feature, and keep your kdevelop file locally.
It would not make sense to keep that in the tree though, not everyone
uses that, wants that or needs that. Why don't we have project files
for say Eclipse?
Stick with the "Import existing project," I know for a fact that it
works quite well with kicker, as I used that to do some initial
cachegrind tests.
