AFAIK kmail right now can not access shared folders at all
It's on the wish list though

I remember discussing that point with martin. We basically came
to the conclusion that kmail needs to maintain extended attributes
of folders. 

A first shot could be that the user/wizard/whoever enters some
config in a attribute dialog for the respective folder

There is a rfc/draft/don't remember about learning the uri of a user's  
freebusy information from his/her ldap entry. 

I'm not aware of any further standardization towards the point
you mention. Everthing seems thinkable here (?).
