You certainly will need a .desktop file, and you will need a DocPath entry 
like this:
DocPath=help:/konsolekalendar/index.html

Along with the normal contents of course (exec, name, comment, etc - copy an 
existing one is probably the easiest way to do it.)

The rest is a little trickier, I'm not sure how to go about having an entry 
show up in KHelpCenter but not in the K menu, and I suspect 'hiding' it in 
the K menu will also hide it in KHC.  

In any case, having a K Menu entry is not the worst thing in the world, there 
is the 'Other Programs' section and you can start terminal apps from menu 
entries fairly easily (dig around for the mutt or MC .desktop files, for 
examples of that)
