No, there are no more new Pentax K1000 cameras being made. About the only new film, manual focus SLR being made is the Nikon FM10, which is also hard to find. Pentax is now focusing on digital SLRs; their least expensive SLR is the Pentax K2000. Bundled with a lens, it’s about $560. For comparison, about 25 years ago, I was selling Pentax K1000 cameras for around $300.
