I'm using kdesvn-build to build the kde modules.
Once you've installed all the dependencies (those distribution dependency 
pages are pretty good), it's just a matter of running kdesvn-build and 
you're done. I've once blogged about it and still think it's the way to go.
Besides kdsvn-build I use a little run-script to start trunk-apps in my 
current environment/as current user. No extra user. It works perfectly since 
years.
