ksmserver is only running in a full sesssion, i.e. started by startkde
ksmserver is not part of the basic KDE infrastructure, since a KDE application 
can cooperate with the running session's session manager (e.g. GNOME's) if 
the session manager complies with the session manager protocol specification.

This shouldn't be a problem. You'll get a DCOP server for each DISPLAY, in 
your case for each ssh session (since each ssh -X creates its own X socket)

dcop --all-sessions

The script is called startkde. In Debian for example /usr/bin/startkde
