 From CVS, you must run automake and autoconf.  You don't do this by hand 
with KDE; you first execute:

	make -f Makefile.cvs

which will do what is needed to build your configure script.

Then configure, make and make install.

Yes, although I must say that your settings are a little odd.  The standard 
location for Qt is: /usr/local/qt-x.y.z, but I see no reason that you can't 
install it in: "/usr/local/kde3.1"

Usually not.  But, I would recommend that you do the actual building on a 
console rather than in the GUI.  I would restart KDE as soon as you have 
installed the new kdelibs and kdebase.

Yes, in general *NIX does not modify configuration setting when you install 
or uninstall stuff.  Only one thing.  I would make a copy of "kdmrc" if you 
have changed it.
