Given the process the ioslaves are started (protocol of URL -> lookup in 
.desktop file -> starting of slave by kdeinit) I dont know how you could 
install different ioslaves for a KDE installation. There may be a way to 
always start the newly installed ioslaves, possibly by restarting kdeinit or 
telling it in any other way to look in a different directory as well.
