Remember goopher? There was a time when you could choose the rendering engine in konqueror. This option is long gone, a propper integration of e.g. firefox rendering engine would end at firefox-with-different-decos, so no win. How many different rendering engines are under active development now? 4? Less then 10 I bet. CSS of KHTML never implemented the full standard, now it's totally outdated. I don't see a way to get it on track again - and I doubt it would be of any use. KHTML is good for browsing the man:// and info:// pages - there's no better way to do it.
