Yes, I would think so. Everest is some 200 meters taller, but lies ~8 degrees further to the south. We know know that moving up 100 meters on a mountain is roughly equivalent to moving 80 kilometers (45 miles or 0.75° of latitude). Assuming a standard lapse rate of 0,65 ºC per 100 meters, K2 should be about ~5 ºC colder than Mt. Everest on average.
