I really don't know.  I didn't know the kazaa network was independent of 
gnutella. 
Gnucleus is a gnutella p2p client.  It is written for win32 using MFC, 
but will run under WINE.

If you're just looking for a way to get a few mp3s gnucleus will do the 
trick, but I have no idea about its relationship with kazaa.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucleus/

Take a look at the docs here....maybe you can discover some more info.
