Not necessarily, you can support all of the features of A, F and FA lenses
without a stop down follower cam. You need one for the K/M lenses. This camera
will support stop down metering according to the literature. That's not the same
as full support it may support K/M lenses in the same manor as ST and SMCT lenses.
I'm waiting for a report from some one who actually handles one.

But it's a piece of hardware that's already a part of current lens

cameras. Engineering is already done, and the space constraints of that
area of the cameras are set by other factors (size of the mirror, lens
mount to film distance).
All of my Pentax cameras have had VERY similar lens mounting
arrangements.
