Yes they do. Desktop entry files describe which mime types are supported by an
application: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fdesktop_2dentry_2dspec.
Both GNOME and KDE fully support that.
A separate specification describes how to register mime types:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fshared_2dmime_2dinfo_2dspec.
That method is apparently not yet supported by KDE though.

loki-setup doesn't create XDG desktop files yet.
