I don't think so:

http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/technology/K-mount/Kaf.html

According to the former, the following info suffices for multi-segment
metering:

- constructing all lenses to know their aperture range,
- constructing the mount to transfer the aperture range,
- redesigning the mount so that the body can easily determine the
  difference in f-stops between the widest and the currently-selected
  aperture

Distance does not come into play.
