It is looking into all $KDEDIRS/env if I remember correctly, so one could do 
something like
KDEDIRS=/usr:/usr/local/:/my/prefix and put those scripts into /my/prefix/env

An important point to consider here is that, as far as I know, those scripts 
will be sourced by the startkde script, thus need to be compatible with 
whatever shell is set up for interpreting /bin/sh scripts.

The scripts themselves can of course launch other scripts which use different 
interpreters.
