No. AFAIK, PKS stands for 'Proposed Korean Standard' and as such PKS 5700
became KS C 5700 which in turn was renamed KS X 1005-1. Then, what is
KS X 1005-1? It's just the Korean version of ISO 10646 (aligned with
Unicode 2.0).
The North Korean counter part to KS X 1001 (formerly KS C 5601) is KPS
9566-97 (defining about the same number of Hangul pre-composed syllables,
Hanjas and special symbols as KS X 1001 does) available at
