Well if this is okay, you could just remove the KDE-specific DTDs and 
entities from the relevant docbook files and just call xsltproc manually.

IIRC xml2pot and friends are not too picky about what sort of XML gets fed 
into them, so scripty should just continue to make POTs out of these plain
docbooks just as well as it handles normal KDE ones.  But, the script that
generates kde-l10n-foo tarballs probably just calls meinproc so some work 
may be needed on that side to get translation working properly.  (Whether 
that be fixing meinproc to handle non-KDE customized docbooks if it doesn't 
already or just fixing that script to use xsltproc where needed.)
