When S/MIME support was added to KMail it was indeed first added through 
a plugin. Soon afterwards the crypto plugin functionality was removed 
again and S/MIME was integrated more directly into KMail. In 
kdepim/certmanager/lib there are still a few files called cryptplug*.*, 
but those do no longer represent a plugin interface.

You'll have to hack KMail to add support for another crypto backend. 
OTOH, this shouldn't be that difficult to do because apart from an 
OpenPGP backend and an S/MIME backend a third backend for Chiasmus 
(some proprietary crypto thingy) was integrated in KMail.
