I think KBE should be a blob. I'm guessing the "Developer Experience"
expectation is to be able to install KBE as a package, and then start
building KDE + dependencies.

I think there's a bit of confusion here between where our KDE packages
are installed, and what KBE does.

KBE doesn' restrict the location of the install to a specific
directory: the installation location can be specified in the spec
files.

Ade is right about the Standard KDE Location (which is
/opt/kde-<version> and /opt/qt-<version>.

I'm not too crazy about /opt/kdesupport mostly because it doesn't
sound too intuitive to me (in my mind anything with the word "support"
in it is a phone number you call to complain when something isn't
working :-).

Maybe /opt/kdelocal or /opt/kderuntime or /opt/kdesolaris ?
