You can copy native mode apps to your kindle USB drive, and then you just run them. You can use a launcher such as launchpad, kite, or the K5 launcher menu, or you can run them from an SSH prompt. You can even add a startup script to run native mode apps automatically on startup. Soon, you will be able to run them over USB (on K4/K5 and perhaps eventually K3) using new stuff yifanlu (and hawhill) are working on, using the same USB Downloader protocols that MfgTool and Advanced ToolKit use.

In some cases, a native mode app may need to be "installed" by running an installer script. For example, see the tcc (tinycc) native mode compiler package thread (in the tools index), which "fixes" some incompatible firmware problems on certain kindle models.
