Yes, use the KNotification class, part of kdeui:
http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-
apidocs/kdeui/html/classKNotification.html

The knotify daemon should support some version (I guess the latest) of 
the notification freedesktop specs; but usually you don't have to worry 
about that, knotify will be adapted to support new versions/features of 
those specs, pretty transparently from your (= application using 
KNotification) point of view.
