WFS for GML, shapefile, geojson.
Just use the "GML" link from the preview page, remove the
"maxFeatures" element and
change/set the outputFormat.

WMS for KML instead: again, get the preview link for openlayers and change the
mime type to the kml one (don't remember it by heart, but you can find it in the
WMS capabilities document). Mind, big KML files will probably make Google Earth
choke.

If you want even more format options you can install ogr2ogr and configure the
ogr2ogr output format (e.g., you can provide unstyled kml with full attributes
inside, dxf, mapinfo, etc).

Cheers
