It effective means the preceding part of the phrase is unsure/unknown/whatever. It sort of fulfills the role of "what" or "where" or whatever in the sentence.

何曜日関西へ行くか、まだ決めていません。
I have not decided what day I will go to Kansai.

何時に起きるか分かりません。
I do not know what time I will wake up.

「誰がボブを演じるかについて何かお考えはありますか ?」
"Do you have any idea about who will play [the role of] Bob [in the play/show/musical]?"

Without the か, all these sentences would be grammatically incorrect. Basically, if you've got a 誰、何、何時 etc. type of question word, you need to include that か.
