Then there probably is none. I'll report back if I do run into weirdness.

One last try to explain what I was asking for: my (out-of-tree) builds of the kdevelop source tree always found their KDevPlatform headers in /opt/local/include/kdevplatform until now. They'll have to find them in $sourcetree/kdevplatform in the future, and no longer in /opt/local/include/kdevplatform. It looks likely enough that will work just fine (but I've already run into conflicts, esp. building Qt, hence my question).

Sorry for the noise and misunderstanding.
