I don't know about ORBit/Mico. Anyway. KDE's imlib and esound equivalents
are in, I think, kdesupport. The advantage is you really don't need a
zillion packages to install KDE.

there is kdecore. control-center is included in the kdecore, as are a
windowm manager and kfm (the gmc equivalent). Then again, kde has been
around longer, so it's natural that they have a lead.
