Yes:
TDEGlobalNetworkManager* nm = KGlobal::networkManager();
if (!(nm->backendStatus() &
TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags::BackendUnavailable)) {
  // A network management backend is available
  connect(nm,
SIGNAL(networkConnectionStateChanged(TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags::TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags,
TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags::TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags)), this,
SLOT(theGlobalNetworkStateChanged(TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags::TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags,
TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags::TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags)));
}

I could definitely use some assistance in updating konversation/kmail/etc
to incorporate this new functionality, so if you want to hack on those
applications please feel free!
