It certainly wasn't the case that you couldn't get local currency at KEF when I was there in March. Don't remember seeing an HSBC ATM off the top of must head. I'm sure the KEF web site might have more info.
Landsbanki has the banking franchise at KEF. They have ATM's in the departure area both Schengen and non-Sccengen that dispense kronas, Euros and Dollars. I think I remember seeing Danish kronas as well. On arrival, you can of course go to these machines before heading down to arrivals but as stated already there are several machines outside of customs (to the left).
