I use default /usr/local location and do as little customization of the 
build process as possible. Then I tell my KDE sessions to use /usr/local 
stuff as well like this:

martin@merkaba:~> cat .kde/env/kdedirs.sh 
#!/bin/bash
if [ -z $KDEDIRS ]; then
        export KDEDIRS="/usr/local/"
else
        export KDEDIRS="/usr/local/:$KDEDIRS"
fi

if [ -z $QT_PLUGIN_PATH ]; then
        export QT_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/local/lib/kde4"
else
        export QT_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/local/lib/kde4:$QT_PLUGIN_PATH"
fi

I have no idea.

I use sid, so for me personally it isn´t a concern.
