Can I setup application based firewalling (e.g. just allowing Konqueror to use the net) with KMyFirewall?

No, sorry. The reason is that KMyFirewall uses iptables to implement the ruleset. Therefore you cannot define different rules for different applications. The whole firewalling process runs in kernelspace and is completely independent from any other software – in fact iptables does not know anything about the applications using the network. All they do is decide if a port is reachable or not for each packet.
