I believe the main issue is that we don't have a KDE 4 port of DeKorator yet, 
and Rawhide is already using KDE 4 KWin, so we can't use the theme in Rawhide 
yet. (WM decorations are only useful for the version of KWin we're actually 
shipping.)

Ideally we'd also have a Qt 3 version, because not all the KDE apps are going 
to be ported to KDE 4 in time for Fedora 9. (Unlike the KWin case, for widgets, 
we're shipping both Qt 3 and 4, so we can use, and ideally should have, styles 
for both.)

In the KDE SIG discussions about that, I suggested starting from Polyester:
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Polyester?content=27968
which has both KDE 3 and KDE 4 versions available and which already looks close 
to Nodoka (at least to the version in F8).

WARNING: Whoever works on this will have to do changes to the theme source 
code, not just configuration files and images, so if C++/Qt scares you, this is 
probably not for you. ;-)
