Mk II model usually don't last that long, as they are usually only small revision on the original model done to extend the life a bit.
If K3 II replacement is announced in May, it will follow the standard life length of an "mk II" model.
But I doubt it will take as long as 6 month to be available after announcement. When a replacement camera is announced it will usually be available within weeks.
K5 II was replaced by K3 after 13 month
K100D super was replaced by K200D after 15 month.
*ist DS2 was replaced by K10D after 13 month
*ist DL2 was replaced by K100D after 4 month
K1 was announced much earlier than normal as it is in a brand new segment and not a replacement of an existing camera.

Mk II model usually do not include any major redesign in hardware, which can explain why it was not possible to fit both GPS antenna and flash in K3 II.
But if the replacement is a brand new model it would not be too difficult to include both flash and GPS. To include both in a brand new design will probably cost less than to handle the logistics of having two models.
