We were already planning a multi-calendar setup for KOrganizer in
KDE3.2.
This may be of interest to you.
My current work can be downloaded from 
http://tux.ict.tbm.tudelft.nl/~janpascal/exchange/
It contains the kresources framework. A resource is something like a
calendar 
store, or an addressbook store. Resources come in families of types,
which 
are loaded as plugins. The base class of resources is KRES::Resource.
From 
this we derived KCal::ResourceCalendar, for resources delivering
calendar 
information. This is the "calendar" resource family. At the moment,
there 
are two types of calendar resources: type "local", which supports
calendars 
stored in iCalendar files, and type "exchange" which supports calendars 
stored on an Exchange server. These type as installed as plugins. There 
is a kcontrol component for defining and selecting resources for every 
resource family. Using this component you can define e.g. several local 
calendars (your own, your wife's) and calendars on exchange servers.

All calendar resources come together in the MultiCalendar class.
KOrganizer uses
this as a drop-in replacement for the Calendar (or CalendarLocal) it
currently
uses. MultiCalendar in effect merges the calendar resources to present a
single
Calendar for KOrganizer.

Cheers
