Open the command-line interface for your OS, and type in:
ln -s ~/.kolmafia /path/to/dropbox/folder/KoLmafia

If you're using a Mac, and the section above made no sense, here are step-by-step instructions that will get you there.

Open Terminal.app. This is in /Applications/Utilities, or you can just use Spotlight to find it.
Open Finder, and navigate to the folder containing your Dropbox folder.
In Terminal, type "cd ", then drag the Dropbox folder onto the Terminal window, then press Enter.
- Leave the quotes out for all of these commands and make sure to include the trailing space. Copy-pasting the commands is advised.
In Terminal, type "ln -s /Library/Application\ Support/KoLmafia KoLmafia", then press enter.
You now have a symbolic link, and Dropbox will back up your mafia settings files.
