I've had KRB5 beta 6 through 1.0.3 running on FreeBSD for over a year. The
only problem is that the Kerberos distribution doesn't perform lastlogin under
FreeBSD, because FreeBSD does not have a lastlog.h (the struct is defined in
utmp.h). A small patch fixes this. I'll be submitting this to MIT when I get
a chance (probably this weekend).
Other KRB5 problems are not specific to FreeBSD and are usually fixed by the
ANL patches, which usually get rolled into the next release by MIT.
A port should be simple to create, however it could not fetch the source into
distfiles: This would have to be performed by the sysadmin. Configuration is
simple. I use;
/configure --with-cc=gcc --with-aname-db=db --with-kdb-db=db
--prefix=<choose your direcotry> --with-ccopts=-O
The --with-krb4 option is only required if you use a KRB4 client like sudo or
popper.
