I think the build script is a good idea. Perhaps all it should
contain is something like
#! /bin/bash
export kde_htmldir="share/doc/kde/HTML"
if ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && sudo make install;
then echo "Installation succeeded. Add /usr/local/bin to your PATH, and /usr/local to your KDEDIRS..."
else echo "Installation failed."
fi

If I understand the FHS correctly, that should be
"--prefix=/usr/local"..
