Ooop, I seem to remember a SVG directory in koffice/filters/karbon, but I
haven't checked if it was only export or import/export. And the current work
on SVG in KDE is done on KSVG, my current work is more the import filter for
Adobe Illustrator (AI).
I don't think a SVG import filter would be much more difficult, but it would
more a question of supported features.

Ooops, I stand corrected. Karbon uses the Koffice parser.

See above, I do just the AI import filter (at least currently). I have much
more AI files to import, than SVG, at least currently.
My SVG path data filter is only a re-implementation of some work I did for
KSVG, but which was rejected.

My idea was that we could agree on a common file format with e.g. the Open
Office guys, which use SVG style for storing graphics data (in all
occurences, like some kind of Metafile format)
