I haven't created any widgets, but I use SuperKaramba for KDE 3.5.  I believe 
SuperKaramba is now built into KDE 4 and I've read that OS X widgets should 
work on KDE 4 without much trouble.  I'm still debating on whether to install 
KDE 4 now or wait until 4.1, so I can't comment on how well any of it works.  
But for KDE 3.5, things mostly work without issues.
