I don't know anything about Adept, but if it uses apt (and I would be pretty sure it does being Kubuntu), then there should be a way to add repositories (or Software Sources). Add the following line:
deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ gutsy-wx main and Refresh or Update the software list, and you should see wxWidgets 2.8.x. I think if you install libwxgtk2.8-dev it should get everything else you need automatically. If you can't get kicad compiled after that I can send you the binaries I made.
