As long as the kernel sends multitouch events and the X evdev input module is used in Ubuntu 10.10, utouch should just work. The tricky part here is if your device is a trackpad. Trackpads are normally grabbed by the X synaptics input module instead of the X evdev input module. One can use InputClass sections in xorg.conf to switch between the two.
