That woud be the right place, at least name-wise. KDE would have to create 
/var/cache/kde during the installation and invent a way to allow any user to 
write there, while at the same time not erase nor read other users' files
(mode 1777 and per-user subdirectories with 0700)

While this may be The Right Thing to do, it may prove to be just a hassle and 
/var/tmp may already solve it.

PS: this is Linux-only discussion. Someone has already stated that /var/cache 
is plainly forbidden in FreeBSD, for instance, and that it's not going to 
change.
