Is there an easy method to configure the TDE Menu not to show KDE3 or KDE apps?
That is, without using the menu editor, which would be clunky for such massive menu changes.

You could perhaps use the OnlyShowIn= line in the .desktop files for the menu items.
Run through the .deskstop files and echo OnlyShowIn=GNOME or something similar.
There's nothing like a dirty hack.

Well, hacking every single desktop file is doable for solitary end users, but there is no way to package that in TDE, nor would we want to. :)
There is some code in tdelibs/kservice.cpp to append KDE4 menu options with [KDE4]. The basic detection method is the root file path of the desktop file, which for KDE4 apps is $PREFIX/share/applications/kde4/.
In bug report 892 I proposed changing the default install path for Trinity apps from $PREFIX/share/applications/kde/ to $PREFIX/share/applications/trinity/. At that point we would have a way to distinguish desktop files from the three desktops without grepping any desktop files.
Long term, a couple of check boxes in KControl -> Desktop -> Panels -> Menus would suffice. Some code in kservice.cpp would work something like:
If KDE3_CheckBox_Is_Enabled Then If desktop_root_path == $PREFIX/share/applications/kde/ || desktop_root_path == $PREFIX/share/applications/kde/ then Show menu item Else Don't show menu item If KDE4_CheckBox_Is_Enabled Then If desktop_root_path == $PREFIX/share/applications/kde4/ then Show menu item Else Don't show menu item
Unfortunately none of this readily available today. :)

Ok, i assumed you only wanted to remove KDE apps from menu for some personal testing. Certainly not a viable solution for any final release.
