It wouldn't tkae too much effort to swap out the PackageKit backend in pk-update-icon with a zypper-based one, in fact I do already have a parser for zyppers XML output from some experiments last year. It uses GTK+ but the UI consists only of a tray icon and notification bubble which would open "yast2 online_update" when activated so it should not look alien in KDE. So if there's a rough consensus that we want to go with a minimal notifier and update via YaST's online_update module I could put something together.
We actually had a zypper based KDE applet some years ago. But I still think we should work with upstream PackageKit to get bugs fixed and our support in.
