KDE doesn't care where it goes.  Originally, when it was still early 
KDE and after I came to realize that it ate up up my root directory
by putting an unwelcome /opt directory on it,  I simply created a 
symlink from /opt/kde to /usr/local/kde.  It liked it there.  It
actually loved it there.  It told me so every day for many months
by simply working flawlessly in /usr/local/kde.  KDE doesn't give
a rat's ass where it is.  In any case, KDE cannot be made to ONLY 
work from /opt.  Someone can always fix such a broken package (and
would release a corrected version).  Hell, just compile it and direct
it to another location rather than /opt/kde.
