For me:

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

only appears to work partly anymore with self compiled KDEPIM and Akonadi.

KMail still says 4.14.10 version instead of the latest 4:4.14.5-1 packaged 
in experimental, but ps aux shows /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin as 
path.

And akonadi also is loaded from /usr/bin. I didn´t even notice it.

Ciao,
