All it would take is a solar oribt that intersects the orbit of the target planet in the right place - in fact, if you played your cards right, you could get two flybys. The main concern is the time involved in catching up to the target. You need to arrive at the target with a functioning probe, but that would also be an issue with a KBO mission.
