I can think of two ways to do it - one is via the control center, which might 
not be what you want,
The other way I can think of is you could write a little script:

#!/bin/bash
ARGS=`echo $@ | sed -re 's/--forcelock//g'`
/path/to/renamed/kdesktop_lock --dontlock ${ARGS}

You'd then install this script in place of the original binary, which you would 
rename as something else.

Wouldn't stop your users from finding the renamed binary and running it 
directly, but it would effectively strip out the argument that locks the 
desktop, and put in one that prevents it from locking.
