If your usb key is always there when you start konqueror, you can just make ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror
a symlink to a directory on the usb key. (Not just bookmarks.xml, since when saving it would save locally,
so the whole dir has to be a symlink). 

Otherwise you can use the saveas / import features of the bookmarks editor but that's
a more manual solution.
