It shouldn't actually default to the location of the main KDE installation.
This is to prevent messing with files controlled by the distributions package 
system,  no program other then the packager manager should install files 
there.

Of course it is still possible to do it, using --prefix as the other poster 
said.
But anyone using that should be aware that it might break the system as 
installed by binary packages.

A cleaner approach is to extend the KDEDIRS variable to include the additional 
prefix.

Cheers,
Kevin
