Think about it. The lens shutter would have to be open for focussing and composing the picture. Then, before you could actually shoot, you'd have to close the lens shutter, move the mirror out of the path, open the focal plane shutter and, lastly, trigger the lens shutter to expose the film.
Pentax would have to build an entirely new K-mount 35mm body to do that. They know how to do it, or there wouldn't be any 645 or 67 bodies that could use leaf shutter lenses, either. Bottom line is: No. Such a lens would not work with any K-mount body.
