I have not done the computation myself to determine whether Saturn V is enough or not. That is in fact, very complicated. Because that involves finding the orbits, and working out the orbit maneuver. That is not a simple task.
It can't be done by simply taking the E=mv^2/2 approach. The reason is that, the Saturn V is 3 stage rocket, different stage has different thrust and burn time. To push something to Saturn orbit, it requires a lot of intermediate orbit transfer, and have to find the right spot to initiate the burn. Hence with the limitation of the number of burns and staging, it may not be possible to push cassini to the mission orbit.
