There are some experimental kernel/emc2 packages for Karmic at <http://www.linuxcnc.org/experimental/Karmic/>. I don't know if the kernel is SMP or not, it's not labeled as such in the file name.
You don't need any of the emc2-firmware* files, unless you have a Mesa card. You also don't need emc2-dev unless you want to do development work (you'll need to apt-get build-dep emc2 also, if you do want to compile emc2 for yourself). Otherwise, you need all the files that don't have the word "source" in them (emc2, librtai*, linux image and headers, rtai modules, rtai 3.8, maybe rtai doc). Once you've downloaded them, select them all in the file browser, right-click and select "Install using GDebi". From the command line, go to the directory where you downloaded them and type "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" (assuming those are the only files in the directory). Note that these packages are experimental, and that you won't get automatic update notifications for them. Hopefully we'll support 9.10, or more likely 10.04, with emc2 2.4.
