Basically, mfunc should not take it as an argument, but the next_pixel callback should return it, for that pixel.

Not as easy as I first thought.  This is the approach:

Instead of counting up to max_iterations, we have iterations injected by next_pixel, and we count down to zero (or until we're outside the boundary).  Then in output_pixel we return that value as remaining.  It's up to output_pixel to reconstruct the k value from that.  A later change should move that reconstruction out of the various drawing modes (where it's largely copy-and-pasted) and into fractal; what's more, smoothing should be made optional.

This requires quite a few changes to the mfuncs and the drawing modes.
