Answering my own question, on the off-chance anybody else finds it useful:
The settings for digikam are in ~/.kde4/share/config/digikamrc
I backed up this file and reopened digikam, which caused digikam to create
a new digikamrc file. Now, for the most part I liked the customizations I
had put into digikam over the years, so I didn't want to have to just go
back to the original defaults. So...
I then compared the settings between the old and new files using vimdiff.
Doing so, I discovered about 5 "Toolbar=disabled" lines in my old copy.
Using vimdiff, I got rid of those lines completely.
I moved the default digikamrc aside, moved my modified (and hopefully
fixed) copy in place, and restarted digikam.
Voila! I have toolbars again, and can import new pictures. Success!
And thank ${deity} for hand-editable config files. (Though a GUI I
couldn't screw up would be nice too.)
