If you start krunner (alt-F2) and type in akonadi, does it offer you
akonadi configuration?  If so, open that and define resources for each
of your calendars.  You will need to read the resource type definitions
carefully to ensure you get the right type, but once you have done that
you should be able to follow Stephan's advice to add the calendars
within Kontact.
