/usr/qt,kde was my decision at the time. I didn't see any obvious better 
FHS-mandated place to put them in. If there's a better place, I'd at least 
like to hear about it.

If it's a matter of simply moving the /usr/{qt,kde}/$VERSION directories 
anywhere else, that's as simple as setting a few env variables before an 
emerge, and changing their default vaules in eclasses or whereever.
