Not required. I solved it shortly after the post.

I was poking around and noticed that $HOME/.kde4/share/config did not have any 
plasma related file. So I copied following files from my desktop machine

plasma-appletsrc
plasma-desktop-appletsrc
plasma-desktoprc
plasmarc
plasma-windowed-appletsrc

And now I have a functioning KDE desktop in 300MB RAM :)

I am going to reproduce this again and report a bug upstream.
