In this case, i.e. what the packagers usually do, is to specific /etc/xdg as the location for XDG menu files (I think there is a configure switch for this). XDG_CONFIG_DIRS uses /etc/xdg as an implicit default, i.e. when an application reads this variable and it is either not set at all or set to empty, then the application has to assume /etc/xdg. This is basically what the script snippet from one of Rex's other postings does, i.e. check if XDG variables are not set and then set the KDE dir followed by the usual default.
