yep, that's the best idea.  i often wonder why gentoo installs KDE to 
/usr/kde/$version, while installing gnome to /usr...  and of course xfce 
to /usr as well.  annoying.  personally, i'm a fan of /opt, but gentoo's 
policy on that is to use it for binary/non-OSS stuff, or stuff that just 
doesn't fit into the normal linux FHS.

/me waits for all the lunar guys to start flaming me about using 
lunar... again ^_~
