Just replace Konqueror as the preferred web browser in KControl->KDE Components->Component Chooser->Web Browser, and set the preloaded instances to 0 in KDE Components->KDE Performance. Once you do this, Konqueror is just a few wasted MB on your hard disk, nowhere else.
It's not really desirable to 'remove Konqueror' in total, because Konq is just a shell that holds a lot of things - one of which is a web browser. I guess you still want Konqueror the file manager for those quick drag and drop moments, and you will still want KHTML installed for KMail's message viewer and Kopete's chat window.
One of the topics at KDE Four Core was how to split kdebase into the really important things needed at runtime (eg the useful KIO slaves like ssh and smtp) and the apps like Konqueror, so if I haven't managed to persuade you, KDE4 will let you save even those few MB.
