No, not really. The dcopserver uses the hostname to identify the socket.
And this .DCOPServer_$HOSTNAME_$DISPLAY file _contains_ the hostname as well.
Apart from that we would need to update the $KDEHOME/tmp-$HOSTNAME and 
$KDEHOME/socket-$HOSTNAME links.

This is all not to difficult to do, but we would need to know when the 
hostname changes. Maybe kded can poll the hostname?

Cheers,
Waldo
