Exactly this does not conform to the FHS iirc.
# The following directories, or symbolic links to directories, must be
# in /usr/share, if the corresponding subsystem is installed:
#dict, doc, games, info, locale, nls, sgml, terminfo, database, tmac, xml,
#zoneinfo
#It is recommended that application-specific, architecture-independent
#directories be placed here.

Which means e.g. kde's docs should go in /usr/share/doc/kde. Since we want to
allow multiple kde versions, it would need to be
either /usr/share/doc/kde/X.Y or /usr/share/doc/kdeX.Y. We do the latter for
most ebuilds, since it is - in case of docs at least - policy to install them
in ${D}/usr/share/docs/${PF}

/usr/packages/whatever is as FHS "conform" as /usr/kde.
From my point of view the kde location is not a big and if we want to change
something, let's do it with qt/kde 4.
