I build everything in either: /usr/local/src and set an install prefix of
/usr/local/kde, or under a directory in my home directory where I keep both
the source and the binaries, and build and run it without ever su'ing.

Cvsup. There are precompiled binaries of the cvsup client you need. There
may even be a debian package, I dunno.

See:
