It'll work for any resource that is retrieved by KStandardDirs.

From the docs:

apps - Applications menu (.desktop files). 
cache - Cached information (e.g. favicons, web-pages) 
cgi - CGIs to run from kdehelp. 
config - Configuration files. 
data - Where applications store data. 
exe - Executables in $prefix/bin. findExe() for a function that takes $PATH 
into account. 
html - HTML documentation. 
icon - Icons, see KIconLoader. 
lib - Libraries. 
locale - Translation files for KLocale. 
mime - Mime types. 
module - Module (dynamically loaded library). 
qtplugins - Qt plugins (dynamically loaded objects for Qt) 
services - Services. 
servicetypes - Service types. 
scripts - Application scripting additions. 
sound - Application sounds. 
templates - Templates 
wallpaper - Wallpapers. 
tmp - Temporary files (specific for both current host and current user) 
socket - UNIX Sockets (specific for both current host and current user) 
emoticons - Emoticons themes (Since KDE 3.4)

And of course, it will also work for custom resources...

It is easy as hell to backport as long as it's ok with everyone.
