with the Plasma KPart, which is in kde-runtime, #2 is probably the easiest.
and if done using a proper DataEngine/Plasmoid split (as in Skrooge or the
Kontact dashboard), it could be moved to a #1 style implementatoin fairly
easily by adjusting the DataEngines.

with the Plasma KPart, it becomes a runtime dependency only. the existence can
be checked for with KServiceTypeTrader, and it ships with kde-runtime so there
are no further installation dependencies as of right now (this may change in
future when we modularize kde-runtime).
here's a quicky tutorial/overview for using the KPart:
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/ApplicationShell
and there is a small example in kdeexamples/plasma/c++/kpart/
