KDE (I think since 3.4) follows the freedesktop.org menu specification.
The paths where KDE looks for menu files (which define the menu structures) 
and, as Rod already mentioned, .desktop files (which define the menu entries) 
can be queried like this

$ kde-config --path xdgconf-menu

Paths for menu files

$ kde-config --path xdgdata-apps

Paths for entry files

Cheers,
Kevin
