arla has it's own mailing list, arla-drinkers.

This is what I use on 2.0 on i386 to configure the latest arla:
 ./configure --with-krb4-lib=/usr/lib --with-krb4-include=/usr/include/kerberosIV --with-roken=/usr --with-roken-include=/usr/include/krb5 --with-sys=/usr/src/sys --with-krb5-lib=/usr/lib --with-krb5-include=/usr/include/krb5 --with-arlacachedir=/vice

You may not want to have the arlacache moved, my site is fairly traditional.
I don't know that this will work on other versions (I have no current
machines) or architectures.  I have tested it on all the release candidates
for 2.0 along the way.

There is some work in progress on porting the OpenAFS client to NetBSD,
and I'm using the OpenAFS server on NetBSD.
