That depends :). Try
rpm -i --test --relocate /opt/kde=/usr [packagename]
This will do a test install in /usr (without actually changing anything)
and tell you about any errors along the way. If that doesn't work, get the
SRPMS of those packages and recompile them with the new path setting
(./configure --prefix=/usr).
