You download two files, uncompress them, and run UML. The only way I can think to make it easier would be to make it one file by sticking the filesystem in an initramfs :-) For building UML, see http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/new/source.html The important thing is to start with a defconfig in order to avoid config grabbing the host's config from /boot.
