With a given difficulty level and hashrate, how can I estimate how long I will need to generate one block?

You can also query the bot on the #namecoin irc chan (with 1000KH/s) :

Hm, can somebody relate K\hash to M\hash ? is M that 1000 K or 1024 K? 1000 K seems more logical (we are not counting bytes )

Yes, we use 1000.
