Similar but not the same. The saa driver comes from a 3rd party. Kbtv uses the 
kernel module and its ioctl interface.

Do as you wish. It already is seperate though. You can use the saa.h and saa.c 
as a library and do the same things from a main.c as the python module does, 
see http://freebsd.ricin.com/kbtv/pydoc/saa.html

The KDE stuff is only used at GUI level of course.
