Hi Pawel,

Personally I compile KDE from sources, but since you asked I 
checked a few packages available from ftp.kde.org.

Background:
KAddressbook is part of the KDE PIM package (kdepim), and the 
gnokii import/export filter (library) for kaddressbook is called 
libkaddrbk_gnokii_xxport.so (usually it is  located in /opt/kde3/lib/kde3).
Before installing the kdepim package you'll need at least the kdelibs 
and kdebase packages too.
And: While you downloaded and installed the kdepim package 
anyway - try "kontact", it's really cool !


KDE 3.2.1 - SUSE 9.0 package  - does have support for import/export with gnokii:
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.2.1/SuSE/ix86/9.0/kdepim3-3.2.1-9.i586.rpm  

KDE 3.2.1 - Red Hat Fedora package - does _NOT_ (!!) have support for 
import/export with gnokii:
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.2.1/RedHat/Fedora/i386/kdepim-3.2.1-0.1.i386.rpm
Please complain to the packager: Red Hat, Inc. 
<http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla>
to install gnokii devel packages at compile time !

KDE 3.2.0 (1?) - Debian Woody kaddressbook package - does have support for 
import/export with gnokii:
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.2.1/Debian/pool/main/k/kdepim/kaddressbook_3.2.0-0woody1_i386.deb
"apt-get install kaddressbook" should do everything you need...

Summary:
Current SUSE and Debian distros work, RedHat Fedora doesn't (yet), I didn't 
checked others.
