This will only work from within another Konsole. I found this works from
anywhere:

$ dcop --user $USER konsole-`pidof konsole` default newSession

Assuming that there is a konsole running. So you could first do the pidof to
get the PID of any running konsole (split it apart if there were more than
one, as if two are running you get:

$ pidof konsole
12311 15810
).

If none return, you can just run konsole.

Here's a good link: http://docs.kde.org/userguide/kde-diy.html

As far as send commands to the bash shell running there, I don't know.

UNIX is user-friendly. It's just a bit picky about who its friends are.
