I see a few options here:
1. Only convert classes starting with 'K' and another capital letter to 
KDE::Foo (like KFoo -> KDE::Foo, but Kfoo will stay Kfoo)
2. Keep a list of kde classes in rbuic (probably very ugly).
3. Dynamically try to load smokekde and look if the class is actually part of 
KDE. This would work for sure and would also be easily maintainable, now that 
the init_smoke functions are extern "C". I guess it's not the fastest 
solution, though.
