I'm also still not convinced that this is really against the FHS. I think this 
could be a border case that just falls in or out the FHS. The FHS forbids 
direct children directories of /usr, but /usr/kde/3.3 is not a direct child. 
Maybe it is not in the exact spirit of FHS, but as far as I know the FHS 
people have also not offered any sensible solution for kde, qt etc. yet. They 
also DO NOT belong in /opt, as they are not standalone packages (let alone 
binary which is the gentoo requirement (sort of))
