I just got that same kit about a week ago and I am very happy with it, I also have a Vivitar 70~210 lens that was on my old ME Super and I am in the process of shaving down the aperture protector, it is aluminum and it shouldn't be that hard to shave down, I just have to be extra careful and not get any shavings down into the lens. I have used it on my K-x but it was coupled on a 2X teleconverter and actually it works pretty well.
You will really like your kit and you will be really satisfied with the K-x and the performance it produces.
also remember this about your Vivitar lens, mathematically it equals to a 300mm when it is calculated for use on an APC camera such as your K-x, so in reality don't feel short changed by not buying the 55~300 lens kit.......you have one and didn't know it.
My 210mm lens on the teleconverter actually calulates to 620mm abd believe me...it actually works just fine.
