Then don't use /etc/kderc, there are plenty of other ways to enter prefixes
(e.g. $KDEDIRS).
The advantage of /etc/kderc is that it's standard. Have a look at the
koffice's "install from source" instructions, there I say that if you install
koffice into a different prefix, you simply have to add two lines to /etc/kderc.

sysconfdir = ${prefix}/etc 
Hey, this is a recursive problem, isn't it ? If I have to add prefixes to
something that's inside a prefix, how does KDE know it has to look there ?
