We search for B+/- --> [K^-/+ pi+/-]_D K+/- decays, where [K-/+ pi+/-]_D indicates that the K-/+ pi+/- pair originates from the decay of a D0 or D0bar. Results are based on 120 million Upsilon(4S) --> B Bbar decays collected with the BaBar detector at SLAC. We set an upper limit on the ratio R_Kpi = {Gamma(B+ --> [K- pi+]_D K+) + Gamma(B- --> [K+ pi-]_D K-)}/ {Gamma(B+ --> [K+ pi-]_D K+) + Gamma(B- --> [K- pi+]_D K-)} < 0.026 (90% C.L.). This constrains the amplitude ratio r_B = |A(B- --> D0bar K-)/A(B- --> D0 K-)| < 0.22 (90% C.L.), consistent with expectations. The small value of r_B favored by our analysis suggests that the determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa phase gamma from B --> D K will be difficult.
