C-c C-t C-s turns on source special mode, and C-c C-v will kick the
viewer.  Of course, since the default viewer is xdvi, you will have to
change the values in TeX-output-view-style properly so that it will
also kick kdvi.  With luck, just adding the %dS option will work.

It seems backwards to use something like "kdvi-search" in connection
with AUCTeX: AUCTeX has all the necessary tools, hooks and
cranberries.
