In answer to your tl;dr -- Yes.
Most specifically there are Journeymen and Hunters and Prospectors for tribes that wander outside the KOS zone of the villages. They will give you missions that can get your fame up to -50, at which point you can talk to the Welcomer and get more missions. Of course doing that for tribe A will affect your fame with tribes B,C,D, etc.
Back in the day there were people who regularly switched from Kami to Kara and back and going for 100 fame each time. They were crazy, but they had fun.
The only KoS areas are inside villages for tribes, anywhere near a bandit camp, and inside the cities and near the temples for Kami and Kara. You can enter any area and travel around without worrying about fame.
