Yes, it does. At all times I have 2 full KDE installations 
in /usr/local/kde3-r<subversion-revision>, plus a partial installation of 
the distribution's KDE in /usr.

All I do to get KDE working is set PATH. If I want the 
distribution-provided resources, I set KDEDIRS too. 

If I just want to run a simple KDE application from ssh or run "dcop" from 
console, all I have to do is type its full name.

From ~/.xsession:
KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde3
KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR:/usr
PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH
export KDEDIR KDEDIRS PATH
unset XDG_DATA_DIR XDG_CONFIG_HOME
exec $KDEDIR/bin/startkde
