On my box, after I installed Kpilot I did the following:

Settings -> Configure Kontact

In the bottom left, you will see a button that says "Select Components". In
that dialog box, you can select which components are part of Kontact.
Select kpilot and unselect kitchensync. 

I also added Kpilot to the summary components (on the summary
configuration). This makes kpilot start when Kontact starts and the status
for it is shown in the summary.
