You can if you run KDE (or at least kmix), through the magic of dcop (desktop 
communication protocol - the forerunner of dbus)
dcop kmix Mixer0 setMasterVolume 100
dcop kmix Mixer0 toggleMute 0 

(you can do a lot more - just do a dcop kmix Mixer0 for a list of all the 
methods, or use kdcop for a graphical version)
