Certainly.  I used the following script:

#!/bin/tcsh

tty > /tmp/kde-config.txt && kde-config --path xdgdata-apps
>> /tmp/kde-config.txt

Running this from within my KDE sessions yields:

daly@riddler <21#> cat /tmp/kde-config.txt 
/dev/pts/1
/home/daly/.local/share/applications/:/opt/kde/v3.5.7/share/applications/:/usr/local/share/applications/:/usr/share/applications/

Running this from ALT-F2 yields:

daly@riddler <22#> cat /tmp/kde-config.txt
/dev/tty2
/home/daly/.local/share/applications/:/opt/kde/v3.5.7/share/applications/:/usr/local/share/applications/:/usr/share/applications/
