As long as you don't specifically require this particular non-GPL compatible 
KPart: yes.

E.g. if you ask the trader for a part that implements the KTextEditor 
interface and then use the KTextEditor interface to access the part, the GPL 
does not restrict the allowed licensing of the KPart. The only license that 
matters in that case is the license of the KTextEditor interface.
