KDE switched to the freedesktop.org menu specification starting version 3.2, 
previous to that they had their own kde-specific format.

So to change the menu for:

KDE >= 3.2 you:
1) specify the wanted menu setup using the format specified in the
   freedesktop menu specification
2) set up XDG_CONFIG_DIRS to include a basedir containing that menu setup

KDE < 3.2 you:
1) specify the wanted menu setup using the legacy KDE format
2) setup KDEDIRS to include the kde-profile containing the new menu setup

desktop-profiles provides a general solution for step 2 (note that the added 
basedir/kde-profile need not include only the changed menu structure, it 
may set up other things to)
