The short answer is yes. There is a native KDE volume manager (kvm),
though this only seems to be available via CVS at the moment
(http://webcvs.kde.org/kdenonbeta/kvm/). 

However gnome-volume-manager works well and you don't need to run gnome
to run it (though of course you need the libraries). I have it running
quite happily with an fvwm session. This recognises my camera via USB or
the compact flash card via pcmcia adapter and fires up 'gthumb -import'
- you could set this to start anything you like.
