Not that I know of; nm-applet stores the stuff in GConf (loosely xml-based), while I have no idea what format the new Solid/Plasma stuff stores its user settings in... It may well be possible to write a small program to take the output of "gconftool-2 --dump /system/networking/connections" and convert that into the config format for KDE4. Alternatively, you could enable the system-settings' 'keyfile' plugin if it's not already enabled, and mark the connections as system connections from the connection editor, and then they would be stored in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections and bypass the whole DE-specific issue altogether...
