Konq does do split windows (and has for some time), but I don't know if it has all the features you want. Try loading the Midnight Commander view profile. I just checked that it can have a local tree view on one side and an sftp view on the other, and drag files back and forth. It's nice, but I still usually do everything in a terminal, and scripted, if possible. My only qualm about KDE is the lack of integration of the other non-KDE apps I use...
