I suggest this:
- make kde-config aware of the pkgconfig installation directory 
(basically, ${libdir}/pkgconfig)
- use pkg-config to find compile-time data

So, you'd do:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=`kde-config --expandvars --install pkgconfig` \
  pkg-config --libs --cflags kdecore

But I didn't understand how you're having problems with pkg-config and 
multiple KDE installations. Can you elaborate?
