You may want to look at the xeffects overlay and the kicker useflag.

Code:
[UD] kde-base/kicker
     Available versions:
        (3.5)   3.5.5 (~)3.5.6 3.5.7
        (0)     3.5.7[1]
        {arts debug elibc_FreeBSD kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility kickoff pertty xcomposite xinerama}
     Installed versions:  3.5.7(3.5)[1](08:37:22 PM 06/08/2007)(arts -debug -elibc_FreeBSD kdeenablefinal -kdehiddenvisibility kickoff -pertty xcomposite -xinerama)
     Description:         Kicker is the KDE application starter panel and is also capable of some useful applets and extensions.

[1] /usr/local/portage/xeffects


The useflag I was searching for is 'kickoff' - just noticed my mistake before.

Read the forums at forums.gentoo-xeffects.org.

I have a big post there about kickoff.

Place kickoff in your use flags and then emerge -avuND world to get the correct packages updated.

Here was the original article...

SuSE uses the kickoff menu, as pointed out above. You could also try kbfx, which is another implementation of an "extended" KDE menu. kbfx is in portage.
