You may be misremembering that location -- off by a single subdir.  Either 
that or the two distributions use different locations.  Delete kde4/ from 
the path above, IOW, /usr/share/apps... instead of /usr/share/kde4/apps... 
and you should find the file.  If not, check /opt/share... or
/usr/local/share....

At least the /usr/share/apps... location is where Gentoo puts the files.  
And FWIW, they're in the same place for both 4.6.0 and 4.6.2.  And the 
content of the file is identical as well.  No changes to either the file 
content or location between the two versions.  That's actually as 
expected, at least for the location (the content might change slightly), 
since it'd be extremely unusual for kde to change locations in the middle 
of the 4.6 bugfix-only cycle like that, even if they decided they needed 
to change it going forward.  Rather, they'd wait for the next feature 
release, 4.7.0, to change it, if they were to change it at all.
