To many knowledge, the code that's in X11R6 is still based on a really
old beta of MIT k5 and it would take some work to get it to work with
some modern code.  And besides, the protocol doesn't do what you want
(IMNSHO), because it only authenticates the initial connection and
doesn't do anything to authenticate or protect the X session after
that.  If somebody is working on adding some better mechanism of using
K5 in X11 I would be interested.
