   is there a mechansim for a "broadcast server" to request a session
   key, and then have clients be able to request that same session key
   so they can verify the "safe" messages from the broadcast server?

Are the clients trusted?  If not, then this scenario requires public
key cryptography since all the clients will know the key.  If you
trust all the clients and can accept each client having the ability to
impersonate the server, then all that is needed is a way to generate
multiple tickets containing a common session key.  Allowing this is
under consideration.
