Thats not easy.
GMail imap is not like regular imap.
Emails simply deleted from a label, via an email client, will not be deleted from gmail, UNLESS they are move to trash.

But then YOU have a problem. moving SPAM out of the spam folder to the TRASH folder, will make spam to be marked as HAM. Not a good solution.

Due to a limitation on the current version of KMail, we are not able to select what folders to sync when using dIMAP. IRC Ingo said that the next version will do this.

AFAICS your best bet, is to get some script that would use the web-interface to access the "empy spam" function of GMail.
I know of a windows mail preview client that works well enough on wine that can do this: POPPeeper.

ps. My emails tend to sound authority and aggressive. I'm sorry in advance. I'll try to be more assertive as time goes by...
