I don't know of any standard shortcut that ejects the CD
(unless you have a player running, then maybe...), but:

There is the eject command (not KDE-specific).
Just bind it to a key.

For example:
- Check that you have the eject command: On the command line,
say "eject". If you don't have it, install it. If it accesses
the wrong CD drive specify the correct one using a command
line option (see the man page).
- Right-click the K menu and launch the menu editor
- Create a new entry, enter the eject command
from above (including any options you need) into the command field.
- Uncheck the startup notification checkbox
- Specify a keyboard shortcut
- Save and you're done
