Shouldn't that rather be the other way round:

 class K_EXPORT MyClass ... {
 }

?

when you want to export the class? Similar

 K_EXPORT void some_function_that_gets_imported();


A bit more work at the beginning, but the missing K_EXPORTs are easy to find 
and we'll end up with the narrowest positive list possible. This is also what 
programmers (including Trolltech) typically do on MS-Windows.
