kabc is the library to depend on and that's in kdepimlibs.

I imagine opening the right app is just a matter of asking the 
configurations that are set in the "Default Applications" page 
in systemsettings.

If you want a "social" development area, I think just using 
kdepimlibs would be easiest. Just make it an optional 
dependency/plugin to build.
