 Do you have an up-to-date security/heimdal package?  the builtin.mk now 
 creates a krb5-config if there isn't one.

 No actually I would say gssapi is the more appropriate option when its 
 specifically gssapi you are dealing with, not generic kerberos.  See the 
 cyrus-*, fetchmail, and dovecot packages.  As to whether its in a separate 
 options.mk I think thats just a matter of style when there is just a single 
 option - there are plenty of packages that have them in the Makefile.
 
 cheers
