I am not sure but in KControl (in KDE 3.0: "Peripherals/Keyboard") there is a 
keyboard for Arabic.

So enable KDE's keyboard layout, select the German and Arabic keyboard, and 
use it simply by switching keyboard when switching language. (I was told that 
you will get an icon to switch keyboards.)

However, that is the theory, I have not any practice with it.

For just a few characters, you could also insert them in KWord by the way of 
"Insert/Special Character" (Arabic is on table 6 it seems.)

As for style/paragraph-based language, yes, it would be fine. I suppose that 
it will be a task for KWord 1.3. However, feel free to open a new bug report 
at KDE Bugs ( http://bugs.kde.org ) to tell how you would like it.

I hope that I could help you a little.

Have a nice day/evening/night!
