I have some users that want to use KVMs to switch between computers on 3 different / seperate networks.

Are there any known security concerns about having networks set up this way?

I suppose what you mean is that you would use one KVM-Switch (over IP) to attach to servers in different security zones? As I see it the disadvantage of this would be if the KVM-Switch got compromised (e.g password revealed) the intruder would have KVM access to your servers in the different zones.

Best regards
