I personally would prefer if they would make it a new lens mount with sufficiently smaller flange distance to allow adaption of majority of legacy glass. That said - I would hope they would take a page out of third party lens accessory makers book and make an official Pentax focal reducer (full frame down to APS-C size) sold with that new body as a kit that allows one to use K-mount lens with full functionality. Alternatively they could market also the (cheaper) kit without that focal reducer and with just one single new kit lens for this new mount (say, 16 - 50mm seems to be popular).
It would be still cheaper than FF camera but would allow one to use legacy glass on the mirror-less body and get reasonably close to FF FOV. The added advantage is also approx 1 stop of extra light if focusing the FF image circle down to APS-C size.
The base body should be reasonably small - not as small as micro 4/3 bodies but it would be good if there would be an option for attaching some extra grip (say, with extra battery in it, for example) for better handling when small size is not prerequisite.
Ofc it would be nice to have also FF Pentax mirrorless and in the case of FF the K-mount would sort of make sense (or it could just use the new mount as well and a just a mechanical adapter for getting the correct flange distance for more options.
Electronic viewfinder accessory would be required as well ofc.
