Why are you looking for binary packages. You can simply get it and 
compile it. Give it a try dude!

Apple's changes were released short after (as far as I remember) after 
the release of KDE 3.1 They have now been merged in the KDE CVS and 
willl be available in KDE 3.2. They will improve things, I have heard 
that Apple has got 50 engeneers working around the clock just on khtml. 
And they release all their code back to KDE. But still, don't expect 
all banks to work with khtml. Many of them even don't work with Gecko 
either, and are IE only.
