$KDEHOME/share/config/kdeglobals
$KDEHOME defaults to ~/.kde, but some distros modify it.

There's gtk-qt, although that styles gtk apps with Qt themes, which I
suppose is the converse of what you want. Anyway, you can find it here:
http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/gtk-qt

I don't know where you can find all of the options (apart from grepping some
KDE sources). I'd suggest the following: set up a full KDE (libs, base, the
apps you want), and set it up as you want. Then just copy
~/.kde/share/config/* and maybe ~/.kde/share/apps/* to the new user
account. There's also a way to change settings for all users. See:
http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase/userguide/directory-layout.html
