No idea.

The change looks like:
.if ${MK_KERBEROS_SUPPORT} != "no"
SUBDIR.${MK_GSSAPI}+=  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).
