Same problem with KDE 4.10 on Arch Linux. This file is not provided by Katepart or Kate.
It would appear that the "snippet_tng" plugin that provided that file was disabled in in KDE 4.10 after being replaced by a new "snippet" plugin [1]. As a workaround it would appear that pulling that file from the sources [2] and sticking it in ~/.kde/share/config/ktexteditor_codesnippets_core.knsrc or it's equivalent global directory gets it working again. Haven't actually got around to using any of the snippets to see if anything else has changed though.
