You don't need to compile Plymouth from source to get its X11 interface. Just install plymouth-x11 package.
Ubuntu uses Debian alternatives system instead of plymouth-set-default-theme command. This means that you'll have to use sudo update-alternatives default.plymouth path-to-your-theme-here to switch themes. Themes are usually located in /lib/plymouth/themes/theme-name/theme-name.plymouth
There are many example themes in Ubuntu repository. Run apt-cache search plymouth-theme-* to get a list of available theme packages.
