For the really advanced options it might be sufficient to document them in 
some sort of power user guide, which would specify the config file, the 
options section and key and the possible values.

Someone could then provide an extra tool like TweakUI on Windows.
This would be a nice beginner's project for developers new to KDE 
development :)

The feature would end up configurable but wouldn't clutter the settings 
tabs of the control center module.

Cheers,
Kevin
