kadmin from Heimda 1.5.2 cannot be ported without porting all or much of 
Heimdal 1.5.2. It uses many functions in the various Heimdal libraries. A 
Heimdal 1.5.2 port might be difficult to maintain as it's sensitive to the 
OpenSSL in base.

We already have a Heimdal 7.8.0 port that includes a kadmin that does 
support export to MIT. But, it has the same issues with ancient crypto that 
recent versions of MIT do.
