Well I've not used the GUI for this so if the option used to be there its 
something the KDE developers took out.
In my kdmrc I have:

HaltCmd=/bin/halt -p

which continues to work fine with 3.2.x

On my systems I copy kdmrc (and any other kdm config files I modify) outside 
of /usr/pkg and invoke kdm as 
	"/usr/pkg/bin/kdm -config /usr/local/lib/kdm/kdmrc"
or on some machines
	"/usr/pkg/bin/kdm -config /etc/kdmrc"
