After the recent dispute with Adobe, it is now going to be called kontour
and it still in development (up to v1.1rc1).  I think you need all of
koffice though, the link for this is:
ftp://ftp.au.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/koffice-1.1-beta3/src/

I haven't used it at all - if someone else has/does let us all know how
the current versions are going.

Xfig is worth a look - I found it a bit clumsy to use, but depending on
what you need to draw, it might be ok
