FYI:  KMail &co has been moved to kde-pim module (kdepim) in KDE 3.2 CVS, so 
kdenetwork module became much, much smaller.
So, rebuilding KPPP (as part of kdenetwork) would be matter of minutes, 
instead of hours (as it has been before)

Yes, sure.
Try to unpack QT tarball and run
$./configure --help
You would be impressed with number of available options :-)
