As discussed in a previous thread we don't have ssh support in KForge 
because of the difficulties of setting it up simply and securely.

 From reading the hg docs it seems you are able to make hg repositories 
available over http using a cgi script, see:

http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/PublishingRepositories
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/HgWebDirStepByStep

For KForge you would just write a plugin which would either install the 
necessary cgi script and setup the apache config or you could even 
incorporate the cgi script into the KForge code. As John said take a 
look at:
