Have a look at DCOP; Desktop COmmunication Protocol.
Start kspread and than kdcop.  In kdcop you'll find an entry for kspread.  
From there on you would be able to communicate with kspread.  For the command 
line and scripts there is the app "dcop".   For more info, browse the kde 
websites, I think you can find more at developer.kde.org.
