Interesting question - and one I'm not at all sure of the answer to.

In the latest version of KMail that comes with Gutsy, you can (a) do a
search; (b) move the results of the search to your favourites (which is
definitely a kind of virtual folder); (c) move the search results to your
local folders - which actually makes it a physical folder, with copies of
the contents of the virtual folder.

I'm fairly certain that if you get new mail that would have matched the
search, though, there is no updating of the virtual folder - for that to
work, you'd need to use filtering into physical folders.
