The kde-uic plugins are located in <KDE_ROOT>/lib/kde3/plugins/designer.

You can either use qtconfig to add the library path <KDE_ROOT>/lib/kde3/plugins
or add this path to ~/.qt/qtrc

<snip>
[KDE]
contrast=7
kdeAddedLibraryPaths=/home/habacker/.kde31/lib/kde3/plugins/^e/opt/kde3/lib/kde3
/plugins/^e/opt/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins/^e

Additional you should take a log into the config.log for the relevant line.
<snip>
configure:23839: checking if UIC has KDE plugins available
configure:23866: /usr/local/lib/qt3mt/bin/uic -L
/opt/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins/designer -nounload -impl actest.h actest.ui >
actest.cpp
configure:23869: $? = 0

The head release is currently broken. Please use the QT_CYGWIN_3_1_BRANCH
branch.
