No, you can't just move the stuff.  You need to reconfigure your source 
tree with the prefix you want (either "/usr" or "/usr/kde3" would be 
appropriate on a RedHat system) and rebuild and reinstall..

However, this will not recompile anything, it will just relink for the new 
prefix and it won't take nearly as long.

Also, you will probably want to uninstall 3.1.4 first.
