The contents of /etc/env.d/47kdepaths-3.3.0 on my computer (automatically 
installed):
PATH=/usr/kde/3.3/bin
ROOTPATH=/usr/kde/3.3/sbin:/usr/kde/3.3/bin
LDPATH=/usr/kde/3.3/lib
CONFIG_PROTECT=/usr/kde/3.3/share/config:/usr/kde/3.3/env:/usr/kde/3.3/shutdown

Of course this only works after a reboot or env-update and relogin.
