I don't think I fully understand. However creating a PCS database for
/usr/include/c++/gcc4.x here works perfectly. Of course this might get
some unwanted stuff like gcj-header in.

Aah, yeah. Changing that is something we should do for kdevelop4.

Anything the projectmanager knows about. So all entries to SOURCES,
HEADERS, FORMS and so on in qmake projects are parsed by KDevelop and a
.pcs file is created from that in the top-level kdevelop dir for those.

You'd need to import the OSG headers into a subdir in your project and
put them into the HEADERS variable. 

This should work, unless the code-completion part later checks the
file-extension again...
