In a word, no. The only way to load the message buffers is from a
paddle or key connected to the K2. The serial KY command is used to
send CW text from a computer. At this point the two facilities are not
connected.

But, you will be able to download text messages into a KRC2 and send
them at the press of a button. (Sneaky way to get an advertisement in,
eh?)
