The usual way is :

1) Get KDE HEAD from CVS and compile it (there is a lot of helpful 
documentation on developer.kde.org and helpful people on the devel mailing 
list or on irc)

2) Find a annoying bug (and they are a lot of them in KOffice :-c)

3) Fix it and send a patch to koffice-devel

4) Get your patch accepted

5) Repeat step 2, 3 and 4 several times

6) Now you know more of the code and you can choose to add a feature or work 
on the project that you like most. Some ideas of important work to be done 
for KOffice (more information on http://www.koffice.org) :
- Powerpoint import/export fillter for KPresenter
- Excel export filter for KSpread
- Joining the Kexi development team

But that is just my own wish list. Your priorities may be different.

Welcome to the KDE community and cheers (from a non-developer),
Charles
