I use Gentoo, but do not use the gentoo ebuilds. I just maintain my own KDE 
tree in /opt/kde.

It is very easy to do this in gentoo. If you then later want to emerge another 
app with a KDE component in the USE flag ( such as USE=arts ), just *tell* 
portage that it is installed by using 'emerge --inject 
kde-<whatever>/<appName>'

That, and make an /etc/env.d/99kde-env entry for KDEDIRS, and you are all set.

Gentoo is flexable, if you don't like the way they are packaging stuff, just 
build your own :P
