Utilize Adept Manager to select/install/remove packages.

Depending on the version of Kubuntu and kde4.1 you are using (hardy, intrepid) adept may work.

My suggestion:
install gdebi, gedebi-kde and synaptic (just like you used to have on ubuntu) by doing:
Open a terminal and:

sudo apt-get install synaptic

and

sudo apt-get install gdebi

and

sudo apt-get install gdebi-kde

with gdebi installed you just click on your .deb package and it will install.

Of course you can always do:

sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb

in a terminal from the folder where your .deb lives.

I still don't know why you need to install .deb packages when you have the whole repository at your disposal.
