The qdbus tool works quite similar to how dcop worked, e.g. if you invoke it 
without any parameters it will list all processes (actually all D-Bus 
connections [1]).

If you pass one such name as its first parameter, it will list all objects 
inside the application. If you add one object it will list all its methods.

So a starting point for your DCOP call above would be
qdbus org.kde.akregator /Akregator org.kde.akregator.part.addFeedsToGroup

Not sure though how qdbus handles lists, you'll have to experiement on that.

Cheers,
Kevin

[1] A D-Bus connection always has at least one unique name, something that 
looks like this
:1.6

Applications can additionally register "well known names" that can only be 
owned by one process at a given time. If a connection has such an additional 
name, it will be listed after the unique name like this:
:1.6
 org.kde.akregator
