as said, that is quite easy, if you do have an IMAP server runnig.
just create a receiving account in kmail of type DIMAP for that server.
then select ressource 'IMAP account' (or similar, translated from german) in 
kaddressbook, let kontact create the necessary folders on the server for you 
(if they don't already exist), enable the resource and import your data there.
(first export that data from your local ressource, e.g. as ldif file).
done.

p.s.: the description mentioned is suitable for kontact until kde 4.3.5, from 
4.4, akonadi manages contact data, so you have to configure akonadi then!
