Assuming you built kdm and had it installed into /usr/local/kde (the default) 
then add a line into /etc/inittab

kde:5:respawn:/usr/local/kde/bin/kdm

You will also need to setup a .xsession file in your home directory with

#!/bin/sh
# setup for kde development

export QTDIR=/usr/src/kde/qt-copy
export KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde

#Set up library path

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$KDEDIR/lib

export PATH=~/bin:$QTDIR/bin:$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH
export MANPATH=$QTDIR/man:$MANPATH

exec startkde
