Finally found it through trial and error: it's in kdesdk4. (Isn't one of the reasons of computers and all those wonderful commands like grep, sort, less, and so on to make it easy to find things like that? Why can't I just search all the ports, whether installed or not, and find which one provides a particular program?)
