Yes.

I haven't thought about KRN specifically very much. I think once it is feature
complete KMail should be broken up into components. Newreaders and
personal organizer applications also should be made available as components and
then the user can pick and choose what parts they want to be included in their
container app(s).

There is still a lot to be done before it is time to start the
componentization.
