I think it really depends on the dog. Karen is right, though, it only takes a second for it all to end badly for the kitten. Sibes are fast. You do hear about Siberians killing cats pretty often. (Even Tamara lost one of her house cats to her dogs)

I can't help you any. My RB Gracie had a very high prey drive. She got several of my chickens and even my brother's kitten. I've met only one Sibe that wouldn't gladly gnaw on a little critter. I hope you can find a way to introduce her and the kitten with no accidents.

REST IN PEACE GRACIE. NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T MISS YOU.
All I can offer is hope...
No positive cat & dog stories here... Zeke de-tailed J's cat a couple years back. Bit and pulled all the skin right off of Jake's tail. 1 ER Vet trip & $350 later.. a cat with a nub for a tail.
It was REALLY sad. And disgusting for that matter.
I don't know that I'd even risk it honestly, if it were me. Knowingly adding a cat to a house with a dog who has a high prey drive.. sounds like a lot of hassle and ultimately trouble. Always having to worry about keeping doors shut or whatever.. Making sure they dont see each other. I'd say get a puppy! =) But I'm a dog person so..lol.
