Brendan,
My camera, the Pentax Km, does have a bulb setting but it requires the actual Pentax IR remote control F to work. It does not have the option for a standard cable release. The model before mine, the K200D, used the Canon cable release, which I have from an old film Canon, but the Km went "hi-tech" and dispensed with this!!
The other issue with the IR remote is that you need to keep the button pressed for as long as you want the exposure to last. I've bought 2 "cheapies" from Hong Kong, but both will only activate the shutter release and not keep it open. Hence I'm only able to do a maximum of 30s exposures until I get the official Pentax IR remote.
Cheers,
Mario
