no, only strings are locale-aware. that's the way it was in kde3:
from branches/KDE/3.5/kdelibs/kdecore/kconfigbase.cpp

QCString KConfigBase::readEntryUtf8( const char *pKey) const
{
  // We don't try the localized key
  KEntryKey entryKey(mGroup, 0);
  entryKey.bDefault = readDefaults();
  entryKey.c_key = pKey;
  KEntry aEntryData = lookupData(entryKey);
  if (aEntryData.bExpand)
  {
     // We need to do fancy, take the slow route.
     return readEntry(pKey, QString::null).utf8();
  }
  return aEntryData.mValue;
}

int KConfigBase::readNumEntry( const char *pKey, int nDefault) const
{
  QCString aValue = readEntryUtf8( pKey );
  if( aValue.isNull() )
    return nDefault;
  else if( aValue == "true" || aValue == "on" || aValue == "yes" )
    return 1;
  else
    {
      bool ok;
      int rc = aValue.toInt( &ok );
      return( ok ? rc : nDefault );
    }
}

i made kde4 do basically the same thing.
