As for you distribution, I think it should be correct, because you can note $p^0=\frac{m}{\sqrt{1-v^2}}$, so your distribution is actually
$$
f_k=\frac{1}{m}n'_k\delta(p-p_k),
$$
where $n'_k$ is the particle density in your lab frame, which is (up to your normalization $m$ which is unclear to me) really the phase-space distribution of dust.
I think that a ...

Relativistic kinetic theory is not that easy because you can't define what "t" stands for. One knows how to write the interaction between two particles in terms of retarded times and proper time, but beyond two interacting particles the question arises of what time do we have to use ? Poulain if I correctly remember has adressed this problem by extending the ...
