My guess is it will be called the K-s. This is simply based on Pentax's consistent use of a consonant letter with a vowel opening/consonant closing as the second letter. With that in mind that leaves: f, h, l, n, and s.
KF is already the name of a particular version of Pentax's bayonet mount, and I think picking K-l would be a giant hassle for the Japanese community (sorry generalization). Lastly, n is too close to m in sound even for native English speakers so it would be unwise for Pentax to choose n.
That leaves h and s, and I think s has the upper hand because it has a more crisp sound to it.
