Chris Phan's comment sounds right to me, but you may be able to do this more quickly, though OEIS doesn't seem to have any details on rows or columns of the below array except that they're (at least often) multinomial coefficients. I have computed these numbers in MATLAB using this stuffthis stuff:

As an example, consider k=4 and n=3: MATLAB gives (I have added asterices for clarity)

lookup(4,3)

ans =

 0     0     0     3
 0     0     1     2     *
 0     0     2     1     *

and visual inspection shows that the number of rows with at least one unit entry is 16, identical with the table entry.
