i don't really follow why this preventing adding it as a port.  the
source is in crypto/heimdal, so we could simply take that source and
put it in a port.

it must compile with the version of OpenSSL that's in base, since we
still ship Heimdal in base.  if Heimdal is removed from base, we can
also remove the port, if needed.

the point would be to allow people to migrate their Heimdal 1.5 KDCs
to MIT Kerberos without having to rebuild src twice.
