No because alternatives and kde default components are different. Alternatives are system-wide, they require sudo (root privileges). Kde default components are per-user, they don't require any privileges.
In my opinion, the best ideal solution would be that alternatives could handle per-user configuration and don't require sudo, then kde default components could use the alternatives system. But that is tricky. You have to think about usercases in multi-user environments, how updates would affect per-user alternatives, etc. It would be great to have a specification, https:/
Anyway, if you think there is an easy solution, it is worth to try to detail it and write a specification. If you (or someone else) implement it, it would be certainly better than the current situation.
