There is currently work going on to create a unified desktop menu system with 
the hopes of integration with portage.Check out:

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=66754

To sum up, it is an optional system that will create menu items for useful 
applications following guidelines on freedesktop.org for organisation. The 
issue of WM specific menus (such as KDE desktop settings) has been touched on 
but I don't believe has been resolved yet.

I've posted to the forum to alert the head developer of the project of this 
discussion. Hopefully, he'll clarify the idea.

Regards,
Jason
