Sure. Install wmsystemtray and run it as:

wmsystemtray --bg-color white --non-wmaker

It also helps to have a window rule in KWin to make it a dock window and 
undecorated:
[1]
Description=Application settings for wmsystemtray
desktop=-1
desktoprule=2
noborder=true
noborderrule=2
skippager=true
skippagerrule=2
skipswitcher=true
skipswitcherrule=2
skiptaskbar=true
skiptaskbarrule=2
type=2
typerule=2
wmclass=wmsystemtray0 wmsystemtray
wmclasscomplete=true
wmclassmatch=1

Cheers
Martin

P.S.: yes I want to write a blog post about it.
