What does `bmake show-buildlink3' say?

The Kerberos dependency comes via print/libcups/buildlink3.mk, when
you have the `cups' option enabled for ghostscript-agpl and the
`kerberos' option enabled for libcups:

pkgbase := libcups
.include "../../mk/pkg-build-options.mk"

.if ${PKG_BUILD_OPTIONS.libcups:Mkerberos}
.include "../../mk/krb5.buildlink3.mk"
.endif

I would guess (not having investigated, so this has a decent chance of
being wrong) that the change of KRB5_DEFAULT might break incremental
updates of existing installations, so you probably either need to:

(a) put KRB5_DEFAULT=heimdal in mk.conf for incremental updates, or
(b) rebuild ~all your packages afresh (or at least, all those whose
    dependency chains involve any kerberos/gssapi anywhere).
