No, everything is in $KDEDIR/share.  We have it like the following, now:

/x/kde/share
/x/kde/bin
/x/kde/lib

and so on (where 'x' is /opt or /usr or /usr/local or whatever)

The FHS says to do things like

/x/share/kde
/x/share/gnome
/x/share/vim
/x/lib/kde (I think)
/x/lib/gnome (I think)
/x/bin

Personally, I like our $KDEDIR setup the best.  KDE is just too big to think
that it can easily fit at the same level as "normal" packages.
