EXAMPLE
There are 7 eight-almost primes up to 1000: 256, 384, 576, 640, 864, 896 & 960.
MATHEMATICA
AlmostPrimePi[k_Integer, n_] := Module[{a, i}, a[0] = 1; If[k == 1, PrimePi[n], Sum[PrimePi[n/Times @@ Prime[Array[a, k - 1]]] - a[k - 1] + 1, Evaluate[ Sequence @@ Table[{a[i], a[i - 1], PrimePi[(n/Times @@ Prime[Array[a, i - 1]])^(1/(k - i + 1))]}, {i, k - 1}]]]]]; (* Eric W. Weisstein, Feb 07 2006 *)
