If you wanted to stop in HKG, that would seem to be a problem, as that's 3 stopovers in continent of origin.
If you aren't staying in HK, then it may be in the gray area, as you'd have 2 stopovers plus an open-jaw. Does the open jaw count as a stopover? Very possibly, but I don't see anything in the rules that says one way or the other.
Here's what you could do: You could fly BKK-(HKG)-PEK, then PEK-(HKG)-
NRT on your RTW. Take the fast train to wherever you want to go in the Kansai. If you wanted to visit Hong Kong, use that JL frequent flyer ticket to go KIX-HKG-NRT; if you didn't want to stay in HKG, take the train back to Tokyo. Then, fly QF NRT-MEL.
