So far I know two points:

1. The port's heimdal may use LDAP as a backend.

2. System kerberos libraries doesn't have information about linked
   libraries (look at output of "ldd /usr/lib/libgssapi.so"). Thus
   we have some trouble (modern mozilla's applications, recall
   problems with postgesql port and for sure there are some more).
