Wouldn't work - where would the USM motor get power from?
(not all AF cameras have power zoom contacts, and those
are the only contacts that supply power on K-mounts)

Or they could just have the shaft go into a simple sensor that

If USM is included it means that it won't AF on older bodies.
Couldn't Pentax use an automatically-disengaging clutch (like they use
for manual focus on most of their newer AF lenses) to couple the
old-style mechanically-coupled AF to a new USM system? That way it
wouldn't slow down the USM system when it wasn't being used.
