I have found the solution after a strace session.

Don't remove the *.la files which will be installed by the make
install step into the '%install' stanza.. Both .la files, the
Kpart and the kio_slave will be needed.

Conclussion: IN opposite to the packaging guidelines it may be
make sense to put .la files into rpms for KDE programs.

Form my point of view the package need further work:

- - Mime binding doesn't work.
- - A Desktiop file will be needed to integrate kchm into the K
menu.

At last, the program itself need some work. But this is a problem
for the upstream author. To understand my mind, you may download
the WinFAQ CHM file from http://www.winfaq.de.
