The Aldori swordlord prestige class has as one of its pre-requisites 3 ranks in knowledge (nobility). You cannot put ranks into a knowledge skill that's not a class skill. Nobility isn't a class skill for Fighter, Monk, Magus or any other Aldori-friendly class and, as far as I can tell,there isn't a trait which makes nobility a class skill.
Is there an easy way to meet the pre-requisites or does every Aldori need to spend a level doing something odd?
You can put skill points in whatever you want. Having a skill as a class skill simply gives you a +3 bonus, nothing more and nothing less.

I may be mistaken in my understanding of trained only skills. I thought you needed to have a trained only skill as a class skill before you could put ranks into it. Is it the case that you can't make a check without a rank in the trained only skill, but can put ranks in at any time without restriction?
Correct, you can put a rank into any skill you please, Class or otherwise, Trained Only or otherwise. Trained Only only means that you can't make a check without a rank in it. You can throw a rank into a Trained Only skill even if it's not a class skill (only missing out on the +3 bonus).
Correct. You can put a rank in any skill you like, but if it's not a class skill you won't get the +3 bonus.
