Here is a reply to your question I'm forwarding from David Reveman or resident

no plan to support local compositing of remote desktops in kwin.
however, I'm currently fixing a bug that prevents the
kde4-window-decorator for compiz to work properly with xrdp and Xdmx.

kwin4 on the remote (xrdp) side shouldn't be too hard to support.

compiz is using automatic compositing and there's some forwarding of
client messages taking place on the remote side but other than that,
nothing special happening there. the dmx plugin for compiz will set a
few hints that will indicate to a local instance of compiz that local
compositing is supported but there's no unique communication done other
than that.

so if kwin would just be able to run in automatic compositing mode and
set the same hints as the dmx plugin for compiz. things should just
work.

the current git repo for compiz dmx plugin can be found here:
