At least three:

- Port it yourself and post the patches, as Rick Genter has said;

- Pay March Hare to add support for the K6-2;

- Pay a third party to add support for the K6-2.

If you're the only person with the requirement, and you're getting the
software for zero money on your part, then you're going to have to
contribute some effort (or money, which comes down to the same thing) to
get what you want.  I've not yet seen an open source project that added
features because someone outside the project requested them but wasn't
willing/able to put in the effort.  The usual ethos is 'scratch your own
itch' - and at least OS software allows you to do that.  If you don't
want to do that, then treat it as commercial software and pay a
commercial software provider (such as March Hare) to provide the
feature.  Or upgrade the machine, as it's probably cheaper!
