Yes, if you want to run the server as a non-root user, you need to 
change the port number in both the clients' and KDC's configurations.

All paths should be relative to the paths you gave to the configure 
script.

Could you perhaps have configured and built with a different prefix, 
and then reconfigured in the same build tree to use your home 
directory?  There are probably places where the change in configuration 
won't be noticed by the dependencies in our makefiles.

Also double-check your KDC config file to make sure you didn't 
accidentally tell it to use /var for some stuff.
