Also, there's a (sketchy) description of setting up a realm in the heimdal info file. http://www.nrl.navy.mil/CCS/people/kenh/kerberos-faq.html However, Kerberos is almost certainly overkill if all you're looking for is distributed accounts; also, only the password is managed by Kerberos, something else must be done to keep the rest of the fields in /etc/passwd in sync between machines.
