you need to provide her with a place to give birth, a warm safe protected place.
you can place a box that is easy to climb in and out of with some towels or old clothes in it in a corner or a shielded place and introduce her to it, she will probably give birth in that box.
there is really nothing you can do, but when she does give birth, make sure that she has opened the sacs that the kittens are in, she will do that on her own by licking/eating them, but if it seemed to be taking long and the sac isn't gone yet, then interfere, gently opening it, although i think mostly it will all be smooth, our cat had 4 kittens and it all went smoothly.
there is nothing else you can do except prepare yourself to meet the cutest creatures ever

Definitely read as much as you can ahead of time - there are tons of really good articles on cat pregnancy out on the internet. Find out what you need to have on hand during the birth, should something go wrong.
More often than not, Mom will do all the work for you. But it doesn't hurt to do your research ahead of time so you know what to expect.
Here are a few links I found when I googled "cat pregnancy":
http://www.2ndchance.info/felinelabor.htm
http://cats.about.com/od/reproduction/a/catpregstages.htm
http://cats.about.com/od/reproduction/a/problems.htm
Those are just a few. Like I said, there are a lot of sources out there!
