You will have to change this in the source (you probably will have to 
change paintCell in kmheaders.cpp. Around line 337 add the lines which 
are marked with a '+':

      case KMMsgStatusNew:
        color = (QColor*)(&headers->paintInfo()->colNew);
+       QFont f = p->font();
+       f.setWeight(QFont::Bold);
+       p->setFont(f);
        break;
      case KMMsgStatusUnread:
        color = (QColor*)(&headers->paintInfo()->colUnread);
+       QFont f = p->font();
+       f.setWeight(QFont::Bold);
+       p->setFont(f);
        break;

As the font for the Date column is set after the switch statement you 
will have to move the following two lines before the switch statement:
    if( column == headers->paintInfo()->dateCol )
      p->setFont(headers->dateFont);

I haven't tested this. So it might not work.

Hint: If you submit a wish for this via bugs.kde.org it might be made 
configurable in a future version.

FYI, in KDE 3.1 this color can be changed directly in KMail.
