If it is a Samba server not a broken Windows implementation of CIFS it will 
most likely support symlinks. so you could symlink .kde to somewhere local 
and the symlink .kde/share and .kde/apps back.

Another option a friend told me about is to have an image on the CIFS share 
and loop mount the real file system in it.
Has the nice additional benefit of having a really hard quota :)

Cheers,
Kevin
