you can look at how we do it with Applet or DataEngine. there are 3 pieces:

* the service definition (look in workspace/libs/plasma/servicetypes/ for 
examples of that)

* the plugin loader hook (look for K_EXPORT_PLASMA_APPLET at the bottom of 
applet.h)

* loading the plugin via KServiceTypeTrader (look at Applet::load in 
applet.cpp)
