Sometime ago I created an udisks2 backend and a polkit client, but it needs 
some effort to integrate they into kde-sunset (i'm not longer active 
kde3-sunset maintainer, as I switched to Fedora). If someone is interested, 
all sources are here: https://github.com/serghei?tab=repositories

udisks2 backend and some other things related to upower are already integrated 
into OpenSuse's KDE3. http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/ansus/

Unfortunately currently my time is very limited, but when it is possibile I'm 
still trying to keep the KDE3 alive.
