Sure. Just use release script from kdesdk to download the translations  
 from SVN and package QtCurve traball. The ready-to-use tarball can be  
placed on KDE ftp or anywhere else if you like. Not sure if it can be  
automated for the releases without any tag (just a modification hash in  
git) though.

Yes, this can be done. Just name these files with .desktop extension then  
rename them with CMake magic at the installation time.

Example:

install( FILES
     sth.desktop
     DESTINATION ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/qtcurve/ini
     RENAME sth.ini
)

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
