Well, no. Giving a prefix of $foo will cause the generated binaries
to be built to be installed and run from $foo.
For example, vendor-distributed packages are usually configured with
--prefix=/usr and stuff you compile yourself is usually configured
with --prefix=/usr/local (which is usually the default anyway).
Usually it's the --with-XXX= options that tell configure where headers and
libs live. Do ./configure --help and look for a --with-kde or
--with-kde-headers option.
