All you need there is a config file search path, e.g.:
[kevin localhost ~]$ kde4-config --path config
/home/kevin/.kde/share/config/:/etc/kde/:/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/:/usr/share/config/

Mandatory settings could be implemented by either:
* prepending something like /etc/mandatory to the search path or
* having a way for the later entries in the path to contain forced settings.
(AFAIK, the latter is how KDE's kiosk support works.)
