The K-10D and K-20D both allow you to set the on-board flash to trailing curtain sync. How difficult would it be for them to make the hot-shoe also fire on the trailing curtain when a non-dedicated "flash" is installed?

E.G. like with a radio-sync transmitter or Vivitar 285HV? Dedicated flash like the AF-540FGZ has its own circuitry to talk to the camera and can be set to trailing curtain sync.

Is this something they could do with a firmware update?

Or is it something that would require radical hardware revision?

For that matter what do the dedicated pins on the Pentax shoe tell the flash? I know what the big one in the center does, and it's obvious which one is ground.
