no; you should be using KDialog. KDialogBase was deprecated and the 
functionality was put into two classes: KDialog and KPageDialog (which is a 
KDialog itself).

this is all in kdelibs/KDE4PORTING.html, which is linked to from techbase. the 
document will actually be moving to techbase at some point in time; actually 
now might be a good time to do that now that kdelibs is not changing every 
few minutes =)

or KConfigDialog directly if you don't need/want to make them externally 
available KCMs. you can always transition quite easily later on as well, as 
KCMultiDialog (which is what KSettings::Dialog wraps) is KPageDialog itself.
