The D-Bus daemon honours $XDG_DATA_DIRS. So, set it to include your KDE
installation before you start the D-Bus daemon.

I have a proposal to enhance the D-Bus activation thing with
desktop-specific configuration. But this won't help running KDE
applications outside KDE.

startkde won't help, actually. This needs to be started even when run from
outside a full KDE session.
