Put the following code snippet in your ~/.bashrc file.

Each window will include the tty device name
(/dev/pts/nn) munged to pts/nn.

Note, this has NOT been tested with gnome or other anything
other than Konsole

   ---------- code begins below ----------

# Begin KDE Konsole Window title code
TTY=`/usr/bin/tty`

		# /dev/pts is a windowed pseudo-terminal
		# /dev/ttynn is a virtual console
		# /dev/ttySnn is a serial line
case $TTY in
   /dev/pts/* )
		# magic kde konsole window title bar escape codes
	export PS1="\u@\h:\w> \[\e]30;\H:`tty|sed -e 's:/dev/::'`\a\] "
	;;

   default )
	export PS1="\u@\h:\w> "
esac

# End KDE Konsole Window title code
