This is easy to do in KDE: Open System Settings, click on "Input Devices" or "Keyboard and Mouse", click on the "Mouse" section, checkmark the 'Reverse Scroll Direction' box and click [Apply]:
This will swap your up/down scrolling but not the left/right if you have that option on your hardware. As noted in a comment, this can be a bit strange when you want to turn Up the volume, which is now done by scrolling Down while hovering over the volume icon. But this, to me, seems consistent with the behaviour that we're asking for, no? OSX works the same from my experience, although more frustratingly on so many other levels where KDE shines.
I can see this making sense on a touchscreen device but not as much on a computer with a mouse. Do you prefer the Natural Scrolling or is it too much of a change?

works great on touchpads if only i could adjust the left-right behavior.
With your tip its "Natural Scrolling" up and down, while "Un-natural Scrolling" left and right. This is way to inconsistent.
and adjusting e.g. for example volume control or any other vertical slider feels really weird.
So to make "Natural Scrolling" really work on KDE it needs a little bit more then just "Reverse scroll direction"
@Anonymous who posted at 6:46: Well, I'm sure that the one for Ubuntu isn't any better.
This is one of the reasons why I love KDE, it has so much configuration. I did this so that when I get a mac (hopefully soon), the natural scrolling will feel normal to me. I'm already liking it!

If you like KDE's configurability and sensible defaults, then OSX will drive you nuts. It drives me nuts, anyways: the [Tab] key skips over whole sections of on-screen options, defaults aren't easily adjusted, the single-menu at the top of a screen is miles away from the application window, new windows get put on top and centered, apps never close when you click the close icon... Good luck!
