Let's see what korganizer's usage page tells us:

==========
$ korganizer --help
Usage: korganizer [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options] [calendars] 

A Personal Organizer

[snip]

Options:
  -i, --import              Import the specified files as separate 
calendars
  -m, --merge               Merge the specified files into the standard 
calendar 
  -o, --open                Open the specified files as calendars in a 
new window

Arguments:
  calendars                 Calendar files or urls. Unless -i, -o or -m 
is explicitly specified, the user will be asked whether to import, merge 
or open in a separate window.
==========

Looks like you should try making Thunderbird run "korganizer -m <ics 
file>".

By the way, in the future please send user question like this to the 
kdepim-users list. The kde-pim list is restricted to development related 
communication.

Ingo
