The method I use is to install the app to a temporary directroy eg 
$HOME/tmp/foo (configure with --prefix=$HOME/tmp/foo and then "make 
install").  I then add the directory to KDEDIRS with
"export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIRS:$HOME/tmp/foo"
and run the app with "$HOME/tmp/foo/bin/foo". 
KDE looks for the ui file in all the directories in KDEDIRS as well as KDEDIR.
