No problem, the language doesn't matter that much.

As I said the handling of the interface files doesn't change.
If you have the KDE development files installed, you should also have the KDE 
widget plugin, which makes certain KDE widgets available in Qt Designer just 
like Qt widgets.

ui files containing such widgets are processed identically by uic, the only 
difference in the application is usually only to use KApplication instead of 
QApplication in main()

Working with the generated widget class doesn't get any different, the API of 
KDE widgets is usually modelled quite similar to that of Qt widgets.

To sum it up:
designer related works stays the same
KApplication instead of QApplication in main()
additionally linking wit libkdecore and libkdeui (and sometimes libkio)

Cheers,
Kevin
