It doesn't have a dedicated light source like K-7, but the raised internal flash acts as an AF assist lamp.

I had an opportunity to shoot in the dim winter forest with all those three 
bodies some weeks ago. Honestly said, K-7 is quite a small improvement in terms 
of low-light AF. K-x is much more significant step ahead.

Does Kx have the low light autofocus assist that the K7 has? I found that for 
shooting events like wedding receptions in low-light the K7 autofocus is far 
better than the K20. With the K20 I had to resort to manual focus -- or when 
too dim -- focus by lens barrel markings. The K7 seems to be able to handle 
focus in a rather dark room.

Is there any combination of Pentax body/lens (digital) that does
relatively well in low light?  I took my K20D and K200D to a wedding
and the autofocus sucked in a big way with the both a DA 12-24 and an
FA 50 1.4.  I tried to focus manually when I noticed about 1/2 of my
shots were out of focus, but my eyes dont do well in bright light let
alone low light.

Not really. The K-7 and K-x are definite improvements but no Pentax
body has really good AF.
