No.
Well actualy the gearbox does't fit the engine the bell housing fits the engine. The B6 may have the same gearbox but the bell housing will be different.

i think cosmo was trying to say the gearbox could fit but the bellhousing won't
mate i'd be wondering how long a b6 box would last on the kf even if you did get it to fit. you don't want to go to the trouble of a custom bell housing only to break the box a couple of months down the track

The end of the gearbox that mates to the engine is different between the B Series engines (B6, BP etc), and the K series (KF, KL etc)
The B6 box will NOT work, as the bolt patterns are different. You will need a gearbox from a V6 engined car. Either an BA Astina, a GE 626/MX6, or any Eunos 30X/500/800.

The G25M-R 5-speed transmission is available for the K series engine and the B series engines. The internals are the same but they have different bell housings to fit the different engines.
They appear to be the same but they are different. You would need to find a transmission from another k series V6 I.E. Mx-6 Eunos 30 Eunos 500 (Xedos 6) Eunos 800 (Xedos 9) Milenia GE 626

the ze isn't detuned as the de is. that means a different intake manifold and a different ECU. like i said i don't know if this applyes to you but it may be that you've got an jap import. in which case, i would be grinning about now.
