Yes, kreadconfig is part of all KDE installations.
However it only returns a value from a config file, it does not interpret the 
config.
For example the attached config is my own, but proxy is disabled (I guess 
ProxyType=0 means disabled).

If you need more information on KDE proxy handling I suggest you ask on the 
kde-core-devel mailing list.

Cheers,
Kevin
