A pretty thorough reading of both the K20D and AF540FGZ manuals re:
TCS reveals nothing. It is neither mentioned as doable or not doable.
It does "imply" that it should work, but does not back that up in text
or sync spec charts.
Let us know what tech support at Pentax has to say please...
And the envelope please ...

Dear Mr. Walker,
Thank you for contacting Pentax.
Trailing curtain sync will not work with the K20D and the AF-540FGZ off-camera
in the wireless mode. The K20D manual doesn't specifically explain this but
under setting up the flash in wireless mode on page 47 of the AF-540FGZ flash
manual it says you have to have the flash set to leading curtain sync. The
off-camera flash is using the built-in flash, or another AF-540 on the hotshoe,
as a trigger, but only for leading curtain sync.

However, I expect that I can use the hotshoe accessory and a cable to at
least get off-camera TCS working. Sigh. Another multi-day special
order from Pentax Canada.
Thanks to everyone who helped-out, especially Doug and Charles for
taking lots of flash shots of interior walls. :-)
