Also it never seemed in canon that the Fed/Klingon border was that far away. The NX-01 could make the trip to Kronos 4 days there and 4 days back.
The Vger cloud made it from Klingon space to earth in a few days
This is true. But prior to the Federation their attempts at expansion were thwarted by races such as the Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarites..

That's been a conceit of ALL Star Trek series.
TNG: In "Encounter At Farpoint" - Farpoint Station is at the edge of know Federation space - yet teh 1701-D gets there is a few days (Per BOTH "Encounter At Farpoint" and "All Good Things").
DS9: Again Bajor and Ds9 are considered "on the Frontier" of Federation Space - yet the Defiant, Quark (in a warp shuttle), and others again go to and from it to Earth in a few days.
Travel time/Speed in Star trek has always been dictated by the "Needs of the Plot".

V'ger is also one of the most advanced beings encountered, the ship itself being made on an alien world that is who knows how ancient.
