I don't think it would be the place to start with.
First kdelibs + kdesupport + kdepimlibs needs to be reorganized, with a first
idea described here: http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDELibsModifications
This most probably involves breaking BC (-> KDE5 based on Qt4 ?)
Once we are through with this, i.e. once we have a set of libraries which
could *dependency-wise* move into Qt, we could start working on actually
getting them into Qt, which would probably involve modifying APIs etc (->
KDE6 based on a hypthetical Qt5 ?)
