You can put a tuple in the queue: the first item being the positional  
arguments, the second item being a dictionary used as keyword arguments.

py> from Queue import Queue
py> q = Queue()
py> q.put(((1,2,3),{"a":100, "b":200}))
py> q.put(((),dict(boca=2,racing=2)))
py> def f(*args, **kw):
...   print "args", args
...   for k in kw:
...     print k, kw[k]
...
py> item = q.get()
py> f(*item[0], **item[1])
args (1, 2, 3)
a 100
b 200
py> args, kw = q.get()
py> f(*args, **kw)
args ()
racing 2
boca 2
