I haven't had the time to test it but Raul Fernandes has 
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kfm-devel&m=109969996114138&w=2
and reports that it works.

The problem I see with it is that X-KDE-LocalProtocol is not enough to access 
a protocol like war or mht, cause we need to pass to konqueror the protocol 
name, the default document to display ( index.html or / ) and its mimetype 
( text/html or inode/directory ).

One solution would be to have in the desktop file something like

[Property::X-KDE-LocalProtocol]
Type=QString
Value=mht

[Property::X-KDE-LocalFile]
Type=QString
Value=index.html

[Property::X-KDE-LocalServiceType]
Type=QString
Value=text/html

What do you think?
