You can put a preconfigured config file in $KDEDIR/share/config for every app 
that needs customization. You can put everything in that is system-specific, 
but not user-specific. User-specific stuff can be put in a small shell script 
wrapper around useradd or whatever tool you use to add the user 
customizations in ~user/.kde/share/config using some simple perl or sed 
magic.

Shouldn't be too hard to work out if everything is properly installed. But if 
you have questions nevertheless, feel free to drop a note on this list.
