Here's a table of marketing materials that gives the times on a K-5 and K-r (the K-r is shorter because it has a less accurate DR system) Specifications | GPS UNIT O-GPS1 | RICOH IMAGING. The estimated times are overly generous and I found that halving them gives more reliable results.

Practice your first night out. Try f2.8, 3.5, and 4.0 to compare results. Try ISO 400, 800, and 1600.
30 seconds is a good exposure length to use with the 14mm. Use the countdown timer, remote control, or intervalometer to minimize camera shake.
Use liveview to focus. Remember that the info button (on the K5, the K3 might be different) zooms in. Pick a bright star and focus until it's as small as possible. Periodically recheck focus.
