K2 #4818 here, Control and Panel boards complete, working on the RF 
board, but C111's polarity isn't marked on the board or in the manual!

I assume that the square pad is positive and the round pad is negative, 
but I don't really want to assume...can anyone verify for me?

Definitely weird Paul! 

Unless something has been changed since I built mine, the positive lead is
farthest from the front edge of the board. It's oriented just like C105 and
C106. To be absolutely, 100% sure, check continuity from C111 pads to ground
(the pads where the 3-D connectors attach are good places for "ground". The
NEGATIVE lead of C111 goes into the grounded pad.
