Like many 3rd-party packages, they put things in locations that make
sense to them and then write their documentation to match.

krb5.conf and krb5.keytab are an exception to my explanation below, they
reside in /etc.

Ignore the file paths in the MIT documentation - the FreeBSD port puts
things in the "correct" paths. Take a peek through
/usr/ports/security/krb5/pkg-plist for details (pre-pending /usr/local/
to the paths you find in there).
