Well,

I think that this possibility is the best one. Paulo, you can see 
http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=13604 and 
http://www.kde.nl/doc/kate-scripting/ for more informations. The first 
link is an example like Andrew's script:

doc=`dcop $1 KateDocumentManager activeDocumentNumber`
dcop $1 EditInterface#$doc text | wc | {
         read lines words chars
         kdialog --title "Word count" \
                 --msgbox "<qt><table>
                 <tr><td>Lines:</td><td align=right><b>$lines</b></td></tr>
                 <tr><td>Words:</td><td align=right><b>$words</b></td></tr>
                 <tr><td>Characters:</td><td 
align=right><b>$chars</b></td></tr>
                 </table></qt>"
