No idea about CCF, but have you already tried one of the two ways for the 'normal' KM? Since it's only about toggling a text in the user prefs, I'm very optimistic it could work in 'special' KM versions too.
One of those two ways is the good old preferences trick:
Go to "about:config", type "agent", click to change...

Look in the file km\defaults\pref\I10n.js for a section named '// Privacy'. You can add user agents there. Each agent has two prefs - a name and a string. Make sure that there are no gaps in the numbers. If you already have prefs to the number 4 then when you add a new agent, you will have two prefs with the number 5

I though I had already mentioned how to do this in the KM 1.6 alpha thread:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?1,103184,page=4

Quote

eh, I've figured out how to do this myself. Edited "I10n.js" file from K-meleon1.6's
\defaults\pref\ folder and changed the following lines:

/********************************************************************************/
// Privacy

pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent1.name", "Firefox 2.0");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent1.string", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.20) Gecko/20081217 Firefox/2.0.0.20");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent2.name", "SeaMonkey 1.1");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent2.string", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.23) Gecko/20090825 SeaMonkey/1.1.18");
/********************************************************************************/

to this:

/********************************************************************************/
// Privacy

pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent1.name", "Firefox 3.5");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent1.string", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100203 Firefox/3.5.8");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent2.name", "SeaMonkey 2.0");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent2.string", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9pre) Gecko/20100205 SeaMonkey/2.0.3");

/********************************************************************************/

then reloaded KM 1.6.0a3 build 4 and now I can used the newly modified User Agent FF3.5/SM2.0 strings from the Tools, User Agent menu command. wee!

that was back when I edited the user agent strings of KM 1.6 alpha 3. for KM 1.6a4 and KM 1.7a, I'll have to come up with newer ones.

not sure if it applies to KM CCF ME versions but I guess it may also work with those.

I found the problem. Edit the menus.cfg file from the km\pref\ folder (NOT km\defaults\pref\ folder, where "km" is the KM CCF ME folder) and go to the "User Agent{" section. make the changes there and reload KM CCF ME.

that's good. however, the kmeleon.js file needed to be edited from the \defaults\pref\ folder instead of the I10n.js file, which doesn't seem to exist with the KM CCF ME versions. kmeleon.js contains the useragent strings as well as that menus.cfg file.

The menus.cfg file from KM 1.6a4 and other non-CCF editions of KM, on the other hand, don't contain the user agent strings and thus didn't require making changes; it's only the I10n.js file that needed to be edited in those non-CCF versions of KM.

K-MeleonCCFME0.096.5pre (en-US) has its user agent strings in ./defaults/pref/kmeleon.js.

The code is in section:

// Privacy

pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent0.name", "K-Meleon");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent0.string", "");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent1.name", "MSIE 6.0");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent1.string", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent2.name", "Netscape 4.8");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent2.string", "Mozilla/4.8 [en] (Windows NT 5.1; U)");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent3.name", "Opera 7.54");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent3.string", "Opera/7.54 (Windows NT 5.1; U) [en]");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent4.name", "Firefox/2.0.0.3");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent4.string", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent5.name", "Iphone");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent5.string", "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3");

You can edit the code there, if You want to change the defaults for future profiles.

If You have edited strings via menu already, the code is in prefs.js in used profile and it will overrule the strings changed in defaults.

the "iphone" and "Netscape 4.8" useragent strings should be dumped as they're of no use. get rid of them. the KM CCF ME user agent menu can only display and handle up to 5 user agent strings as I've found out myself.

Netscape 4.8 is obsolete, obviously.
Perhaps useful when installing older Netscape plugins? I'd dump it, anyway.

IE speaks another JavaScript dialect. Very limited use. I'd dump it.

Firefox 2 should be replaced with a Firefox 3 string. I'd replace.
Reason: JavaScript dialect depends on the script engine used.

Opera 7.x? AFAIK best use more current a Opera for Linux string. I'd replace, update.
There are posts about what version string is useful for km 1.5.

Do not know about iphone. Probably dump, webkit has another JavaScript engine.
