Hmm, I was under the impression too that knots is a speed measurement.
And trusty old 'units' seems to agree, it has the definition:

knot                    nauticalmile / hr

and

nauticalmile            1852 m

And thus:

% units
You have: km/hour
You want: knot
    * 0.5399568
    / 1.852

Wikipaedia seems to agree: http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_(nautical)
