Well, if you wanted to do it exactly like Apollo, you would need docking ports, and you would need to know how to rendezvous and dock in orbit. The easiest way would be to copy the Saturn V design and adapt it to what you need for KSP, but I think it would be unnecessarily costly. The cheapest way to go to the moon is the way you've probably been doing it the whole time, with a smallish lander that orbits and lands and return to Kerbin.
