Is this possible?

I think so. Just build a new icon-set like crystalsvg-arch which symlinks to the original theme excpet for the icons you want to replace. (Or maybe just provide the different icons and KDE will fallback automatically. But I am not sure about this)

I considered building a separate iconset, but the user would still have to enable it after installing the package. Since it only replaces the kmenu.png icon I thought a complete theme (or theme name) would be overkill.

Dang it. I guess there's no other way...

Yeah, it's really a bad idea to have one package start modifying the files belonging to another package.
