Just start "kbabel <filename>". By means of KDE internals, KBabel is
KUniqueApplication meaning, that only a single process runs at the time.

Another option is to use "dcop kbabel kbabelIface ..." command. This way
you can even open a new window for the file. Just try to start kdcop to 
see the methods available.
