Came upon this site and was curious if this would work with KM and if so, how would one know if it was actually evoked?

I tried it and when I opened KM, it opened in the Yahoo Search Engine, even though I have Scroggle as my primary search engine checked, with a big Red "Did you mean Private" at the beginning before listing a search result listing.

Someone also suggested that you could do this in Firefox:

For Firefox, a more permanent tweak is in about:config.
Change the {browser.privatebrowsing.autostart;false} value to true. This will permanently open Firefox in private browsing mode

Can that be added to KM and work?

Cannot be added as configuration parameter but an Extension for it exists.

Once things are on HDD they are hard to erase completely. So for a Privacy Profile would choose settings that use no disc cache. More in disrupted's help file.
Cache in RAM means all memory traces are gone after browser shutdown.

K-Meleon Extensions Central

Privacy Mode

with this extension you can run a secondary profile from your main K-Meleon instance. the secondary profile can be set to have more security-based settings according to the user's preferences.
menu entry: link context|tools>privacy mode
extra notes: requires user to set the profile manually. a help file is included.
versions supported: 1.1.x - 1.5.x
