Sure, there is ftp.kde.org and dozens of mirrors. Take a look at the
mirror list somewhere at www.kde.org.

Add QTDIR=/path/to/top/of/qtdir to your environment. If you are using
the qt debs, things are scattered all over the place (ie
/usr/X11R6/...), so take a look at the README files that come with the
source code ;) 

>From the kdebase README:

-- snip --

kdebase's configure script supports all the standard GNU autoconf
options (you can have the various options listed for you by specifying
the --help switch), plus the following options are also supported. 
Note:  the *non* default variation is listed, so if you see
--enable-debug, the default is --disable debug.
     
`--x-includes=DIR'
     use X include files in DIR

`--x-libraries=DIR'
     use X library files in DIR

`--enable-debug'
     creates debugging code [default=no]

`--with-qt-dir'
     where the root of qt is installed
     
`--with-qt-includes=DIR'
     look for the Qt header files in DIR
     
`--with-qt-libraries=DIR'
     look for the Qt library in DIR
     
`--with-extra-includes=DIR'
     look for include files in DIR in addition to any other
     `standard' paths
     
`--with-extra-libs=DIR' 
     look for [extra] libraries in DIR too
