It is possible, but as with any alpha product, there are risks!

in your /etc dir there is a sub-dir named: /etc/profile.d you will find
some scripts there. No matter what you export for KDEDIR and QTDIR the
scripts here will over-write it. I had to fix those scripts first. Then
log out and back in and problem is solved.

The other thing you should watch is the order of the libs in
/etc/ld.so.conf.
