I am going to make a guess here, based solely on my experience with Palm 
Pilots and how they handle that.  If you make a change to a recurring 
appointment in the Palm, it asks you whether you want to change (1) all, (2) 
that instance, or (3) this and all future occurrences.  If you use (3) it 
actually terminates the original recurrence and creates a new recurring 
appointment with the change.  If you choose (2) it creates 3 appointments, 
the original terminated just before the changed one, the changed one, and a 
new recurring one starting with the next one after the changed one.

To the extent this is not implemented in kontact, you can do it manually.  
Duplicate the appointment.  Edit one copy and terminate it at the end of the 
year.  Edit the other one with a new time and to begin at the first of the 
year.

Hope this helps.
