We don't have a word for continent although I once found *{Hatlh'a'} used on the KLI's web site. naHQun also suggested *{bIQpuH'a'} - as well as *{bIQpuH} "island".
(KGT 16): The Klingon Homeworld {Qo'noS}, usually rendered Kronos in Federation Standard, is a planet with basically one very large mass of land surrounded by ocean; perhaps continent is a comparable concept.
From qepHom 2016, the other Terran continents are:
'amerI'qa' 'ev chan 'ev North America
'amerI'qa' tIng chan tIng South America
'antartIq Antarctica
'aSralya' Australia
'ewrop Europe
... and let's not forget the Indian sub-continent:
barat India (TNK)
