Because  I  maintain  both  the  MIT Kerberos  and  Heimdal  ports,  I
routinely  have  three  sets  of Kerberos  libraries  installed  (base
Heimdal  in  /usr/lib;  ports  Heimdal in  /usr/local/lib;  ports  MIT
Kerberos in /usr/local/krb5/lib).  You have  to be a little careful at
compile time, but there are generally no problems with clashing.

Most  Kerberos  5  applications  are compatible  at  the  source  code
level  with  both  MIT   Kerberos  and  Heimdal.   Occassionally  some
small  tweaks are  needed  due to  differences in  the  API (see  e.g.
/usr/ports/security/pam_krb5).  The  libraries that must be  linked in
are different, however.

Hope this helps,
