The only solution I found was to set environment variables before 
running kdevelop.  I had to set QTDIR, QMAKESPEC, and PATH, and found 
nothing to work from within the IDE.  I've created a small script as 
follows for running kdevelop for use with Qt Embedded:

#!/bin/bash

export QTDIR=/opt/qt-embedded-eval-3.3.3
export QMAKESPEC=qws/linux-br-g++
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH

kdevelop $@

It's not ideal especially if you're changing BUILDTYPE frequently, but 
it's better than nothing.
