I don't believe so.  *.desktop file in $KDEDIR/share/kde4/services (or 
$KDEHOME/share/kde4/services if installing as a user not systemwide), run 
kbuildsycoca4... should be it.

Leastwise, that's what I've done here on gentoo/~amd64, and what gentoo 
does post-install when it installs a plasmoid.  Well, gentoo also runs 
update-mime-database and update-desktop-database along with a gnome2-icon-
update since the same function is run at the end of most kde package 
installations, but that shouldn't be necessary for plasmoids or runners 
since they don't (normally at least) have file associations or need to be 
run in a gnome context.

Just to be sure, you are building them as 64-bit, right, and attempting 
to load them in a 64-bit plasma?  Because the 32-bit versions won't load 
in 64-bit plasma.  (Of course for native-code plasmoids and runners.  The 
qml and js coded ones shouldn't need rebuild as they're not native code 
in the first place.)
