No, certain variables such as XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_CONFIG_HOME were not
set at all. They are at a different location in
http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4.x page, not under
"Switching to KDE-4". export QTDIR was missed.

I have pre installed what is mentioned in the
http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/LFS, others installed
as when needed when compiling KDE. What is not installed in what you
mentioned are only cpptoxml, tapioca-qt and telepathy-qt. They were not
mentioned at the cmake stage yet.
I have found why /usr/bin/kdostartupconfig4 fails.
/usr/bin/kdostartupconfig4
kdostartupconfig4(12560) main: Running kdostartupconfig.
kdostartupconfig4(12560) main: "/root/.kde/share/config/startupconfigkeys"
echo $?
3
ls -l /root/.kde/share/config/startupconfigkeys
ls: /root/.kde/share/config/startupconfigkeys: No such file or directory
ls -l /root/.kde4/share/config/startupconfigkeys
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 371 Jan 8 12:49
/root/.kde4/share/config/startupconfigkeys
So the file path specified is wrong:
QString keysname = KStandardDirs::locateLocal( "config", "startupconfigkeys" );
QFile keys( keysname );
if( !keys.open( QIODevice::ReadOnly ))
return 3;
Now the question is what environment variable provides .kde4 instead .kde?
