That would be the way to approach it IMO. You can steal the code from KDE to 
construct some of the widgets, but you can't directly run most of the code 
(in most cases - there are probably a few exceptions) without KDE.

KDE ties most of its widgets into the entire KDE system, which includes 
locale, themes and other stuff that needs the rest of KDE to run.
