There is actually more than one, and you may be able to use one right now, depending on what exactly you need. If you just need text input, try out viki (it's in kdenonbeta); you may have to combine it w/kmousetool from kdeaccessibility, to make input easier, depending on your needs. Through the atk bridge, the gnome onscreen keyboard may be usable; that one has slightly more features, including capturing UIs to button grids, but it's of course not clear whether it works right, since the bridge is not yet avaiable

(There is also a sort of third option, klavi, which I wrote, and which uses a patched Qt to talk to Qt accessibility interfaces directly; that has basic input and menu + toolbar capture, but it's too much of a prototype to likely be of much use)

There are several options, depending on your needs.

Viki from kdenonbeta is a small utility that shows a keyboard using the currently configured keyboard layout / language. To make it useful, you should it combine it with the "sticky keys"-feature in the KDE Control center (see devices / keyboard), and maybe with kmousetool from the KDE accessibility package. If you wish to try this out, please ask for further information on kde-accessibility@mail.kde.org

Another option is gok from the GAP (GNOME Accessibility Project), which much bigger and is very feature rich. It allows you to define your own keyboard layouts and works with any X application. For applications that support ATK another great features is mpossible: The integration of the applications' user interface into the on-screen keyboard. Once the bridge is completed and KDE has been extended to fully use Qt's Accessibility Framework, perfect interoperability will be possible here, but that still needs to be done.

In any case, if you have further questions, please join out mailing list at https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-accessibility/
