Yep, local file.

Check the source of tha page (the local one). If the links are in the
form file:///var/tmp/blahdeblah then it's likely that Kmail or Mozilla
are changing all references to the remote site to point locally (useful
if you've just wget'd a full website to browse locally). 

If the links are relative (ie without file:// or http:// or whatever),
then it's up to the NY Times to change them to be absolute.

Might be an idea, but I'd try and narrow where the problem is
originating first. If it's the NY Times website, then it's got nothing
to do with KDE or Mozilla.
