I'm definitely interested.  It seems that the best way to do this would 
probably be via adding the Cervisia KPart.  Quanta and several other KDE 
development tools already do this, so the code is available to at least 
start the integration.

In Quanta, you simply right-click on the tab or select from the version 
control menu, and you can diff, commit, check status, etc. from inside 
the development environment.

I end up switching between Kile and Quanta when working on LaTeX 
documents in part because many of the "development process" features are 
  missing in Kile.

So, hopefully the Kile team will take a peak at Quanta's code and start 
thinking about integrating the Cervisia KPart.
