Nothing has to be run under kterm, actually. What kterm is useful for is 
displaying Japanese characters in text-only apps, even without Japanese 
support on the system.

When you have glibc compiled with a Japanese locale (as you obviously 
have), you can just start most any application with the environment 
variables that are found in the langx script, and tadaa! Japanese 
support. Though I find kmail lacks some Japanese fonts here and there.

As a matter of interest, I don't have a langx script, but one called euc 
and one called utf. One specifiec euc_JP encoding (same as langx), while 
the other specifies UTF-8. Only euc works on gentoo Linux though.
