After some experimentation, I came up with this:
% KONSOLE_DCOP="$(dcop |egrep konsole-)"
At the moment on my system, that's "konsole-7761". I assume that if no
Konsole instance is running, KONSOLE_DCOP will be empty and if there
are multiple instances of Konsole running, then there will be multiple
konsole-#### values produced. Both of these will be special cases you'd
have to deal with.

From my experiments, this invocation creates a new Konsole tab:
% dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP konsole newSession
session-13
With "session-13" (with numbers incrementing as new tabs are created, of
course) being the output of the dcop invocation. Clearly,
executing "session-13" will have no useful effect, other than to
produce a diagnostic from the shell:
% `dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP konsole newSession`
bash: session-14: command not found
To the best of my knowledge of dcop (admittedly rather limited), the
approach I suggested is probably your only real option for passing
commands to the newly created shell.
