No idea.
The change looks like:
.if ${MK_KERBEROS_SUPPORT} !=3D "no"
SUBDIR.${MK_GSSAPI}+=3D gssd
.endif
I think that means it depends on both of them.
(To be honest, I doubt anyone ever fiddles with MK_GSSAPI?)
I think that, long ago, someone thought there might be a use
for the gssd when Kerberos isn't being used (in theory there
can be other mechanisms, but Kerberos is the only one ever
implemented).
