It's hard to answer this question when we don't know what /opt/wicd is or contains. But if it's not libraries, it would be better to move it to /usr/share/wicd. Of course, if it's libraries, they should go in /usr/lib/ (or /usr/lib/wicd) and the executables in /usr/bin.
/usr is the right prefix
only standalone beasts go to /opt and only under some circumstances where it is better to keep it separated.
