Check out the plasmoids section on www.kde-look.org.  Most of the plasmoids 
are widgets, but there are a few superkaramba themes.

The generic installation instructions are:

# tar -xvzf <plasmoid>.tar.gz
# cd <plasmoid-directory>
# mkdir build
# cd build
# cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
# make
# make install

You will probably need to install some development packages first (google any 
error messages you get...it only took me a few minutes to find the right ones).  
After the last command, the plasmoid/widget should appear in the Add Widgets 
dialog.
