I started to do this some time ago, but have never quite got it to a stage 
that I was ready to bounce it around other people.  I've a heimdal package for 
systems that need it (well I've built it on Solaris 8) and a kerberos.mk for 
choosing between the package or an in-tree heimdal - haven't dealt with 
heimdal vs MIT or systems other than Solaris and NetBSD.

Are there actually packages out there that can build against the Solaris 
GSSAPI stuff?  Any of the ones I've looked at want the kerberos 5 interfaces 
around, or at least are expecting to build against heimdal or mit 
implementations, which is why I ended up using heimdal on solaris.
