You don't need to do that, so long as you include a header from the
interface module (in this case vtkRenderingCore) that module's header
will ensure the factory for all implementation modules are
initialized. See,

http://vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Build_System_Migration#Finding_and_Linking_to_VTK
documents how to find/link to the new VTK modules. I will try to find
the right place to link to this page from the VTK wiki front page too,
as I just realized I had not done that.
