Im kind of surprised at the opinions here. IMO if the guys clear intent was to call, and he told the floor he was calling, its a call and the Kh stays. It would be different if he hem haws around and says "Uh, Im not sure I was still thinking" even though it was obvious he was calling. But if he admits he was calling, I don't see how he should get an advantage by changing the river card.
Lets say the Dealer doesn't prematurely put the river out there.
The player moves his hand out to make the call (as you describe) and a player in the hand inadvertently flips his cards face up.
He has the nuts at this point and the player who is about to make the call brings back his chips and decides to fold. Can he do that?
If he can do that, then in the case at hand, the river card has to come back. If he can't do that then the river card stays. It really depends on house rules as to what constitutes a call.
FTR if I was the player in question I would say nothing and just drop my chips in your case. The funny thing is I was in a similar situation, I dropped the chips after the turn was flipped and a different player in the hand called the Floor over and had the Turn taken back...
If I was the Floor and had to rule that the river comes back I would be sorely tempted to escort out the player who "called", for a 24 hr break.
edit: I think that what the Dealer has to say matters here. If the Dealer put out the river because he saw the player calling then I would say its a call and the river stays. If the Dealer didn't see the player in the hand then house rules rule.
