the best thing to do is it to put them into a Plasma Package and install them 
in the usual location; then you can use Plasma::Package from the C++ code to 
fetch the qml for you.

a good example of this can be found in the kde:plasma-mobile repository.

in there is a subdirectory called qmlpackages with, well, packages of qml 
stuff (along with the CMakeLists.txt that installs them).

then if you look in shell/mobcorona.cpp in the MobCorona::init() method, you 
can see usage of Plasma::Package that loads such a package:

    Plasma::PackageStructure::Ptr structure = 
Plasma::PackageStructure::load("Plasma/Generic");
    m_package = new Plasma::Package(QString(), homeScreenPath, structure);

hth..
