You need special compilations for ARM processor to be able to install an application - anyway it's possible (in most cases) just to do a recompilation of a KDE app without any further modifications (like it is needed for Hildon).
Regular DEB packages from the net will be usually compiled for x86 platform so unusable for the Tablet.

If you want to install an app from a .deb file: Go to KDE Menu -> System ->KPackage -> Wait for it to build the app list (you should see a little watch on the screen) -> Open file - > navigate to where you file is stored -> Install file -> Enjoy

I tried installing some files direct via DEB for the IT but it failed.
