Getting Home...

I am sure that after Voyager got home, they did contact the Klingon homeworld about the Klingons they had encounterd in Prophecy.
Do you think that the High Coucil would have dispatched a Deep Space, Long Range ship to make contact with these displaced citizens of the Klingon Empire. Realizing that it would take about 15-17 years to reach the Planet where they had located too. They may have dispatched a couple of Vor'cha class attack cruisers to the mission, do you think Kronos would have attempted such a mission, I'm sure they would have had enough volenteers to attempt such a mission, what about you???
 
No. Why would they? It is not the sort of thing they would do. Perhaps a couple of individuals who might be interested. But Martok and the council wouldn't send a ship. There would be no need, especially since they have found a nice planet to settle after a long difficult journey (racking up honor points over the years). Also you called them displaced Klingons. They probably don't see themselves that way.

You're right about the Klingons not thinking that they were displaced, after all they did make the journey of their own free will. However, it would be consistant with the Klingon mindset to establish a Klingon presents in the DQ, be it military or otherwise, only the distance needed to get to the new world would stop them from attempting it...
 
But people at both ends would probably pound their desks so that their bloodwine pints spilled, and holler "We are Klingons!" - just like Kruge did when sending six men to subjugate a starship crew of 500.

The group from "Prophecy" would already have claimed that planet for the Empire, and the need for reinforcements would never occur to them. Indeed, perhaps one preferred mode for the expansion of the Empire is to banish whole shiploads of people, and then have them settle on distant worlds? It gets the home regions rid of undesirables, but the people sailing out are still Klingons first and foremost, and they establish nice little beachheads in the depths of space; the Empire can waltz in when the time is ripe, and extend its feodal reach to these underdeveloped, harmless but now intimately Klingon worlds.
