this is where config will install your stuff.
$(<

will run <

kde-config is a program wich shows you the KDE installation rutes (kde-config --help)
kde-config --prefix, as configured in Slackware, will output /opt/kde (in some other distros, it should output /opt/kde3), and is the --prefix option which was used when './configure'ing KDE.
That means that the effective command you run in the end is "./configure --prefix=/opt/kde"
Hope that helps...
Some times the configure scripts take "shorcuts" and use --prefix to search for libraries and include-files... maybe that's why it's dying on you?...
