The appearence of the Klingons was addressed in the DS9 episode "Tribbles
and Tribulations" when the Defiant crew went back in time to the events in
TOS series episode "The Trouble with Tribbles". In this episode they did a
fairly decent job overlaying the Defiant crew in the footage from TOS
episode. During the episode they did not recognize the Klingons due to the
appearence and asked Worf to explain it. Where he replied that Klingons do
not talk about that part of history. (Obviously, it was a joke that there
was a glaring inconsistancy within the ST universe)

Worf was full klingon, his human parents adopted him when he was discovered
by the Federation after the Romulan attack on Kitomer(sp?). Alexander (his
son) was 3/4 Klingon, due to the fact that his mother was
half-human/half-klingon.
It was Torres in Voyager that was the ST castmember half-human/half-klingon.
