Yes, kile was dropped.  I forget the detail but I think the maintainer
decide to stop. There is this outstanding bug report and no one to
handle it:

I can't think of an easy way but once you have a list of packages
and the information files in /var/sadm/pkg/CSWkile with some effort
you should be able to use pkgtrans to convert the files back into a
package.

You might find an old copy of the package somewhere, some have been
archived but I can't recall the URL.
