AFAIK never used in a Klingon sentence. 

Lieven L. Litaer reported (12/07/2010):

  [Maltz] thought more about it and said maybe another way 
  to say pillow was {QongDaq buq} "bed pouch", but he said
  that could also apply to a sleeping bag. Perhaps a
  sleeping bag is {QongDaq buq'a'} and a pillow is {QongDaq
  buqHom}. The word {buq} could be bag, sack, pouch or
  even pocket. When clarity is needed, one could say, for
  example, {yopwaH buq} "pants pouch" or {wep buq} "coat
  pouch" for "pants pocket" or "coat pocket," but when the
  context is clear, {buq} alone would suffice for pocket.

Another known type of {buq} is the {leng buq} "suitcase" (TNK).
