Tamron 17-50/2.8 is an excellent lens. Very highly regarded, and can be had new for about $270 from prodigital on ebay. It's relatively new and very good, so I haven't seen many available used to know what the going rate is.
Out of the K100D, K100D Super, and K10, I'd narrow it down to K100D Super and K10. K10 is obviously the better camera--only you can decide which features you want and what you want to spend. Although I switched to the K200D, I still have the K100D Super and it more than holds its own. It's a great camera in its own right. I think the K100D Super is available for $300 refurbished on onecall.com.
Short telephoto, you can consider Pentax 50-200mm and 55-300mm amongst others. The 50-200mm has kind of lost favor on this board, but it really is a pretty good performer, very light and compact, and seems to go for around $100 used. The 55-300mm seems to be better regarded, but it will obviously cost you more. You can also consider either the Tamron/Sigma 70-300mm, both if which have their detractors and fans.
