That is the client, minimally.  Users need to get, list, and discard
tokens (aklog, klog, unlog, tokens*), talk to the client to configure
and debug it (fs), as well as do some AFS specific file operations (fs),
manage groups (pts), possibly also users (pts).  They should have vos,
too (vos listvldb).  You should also ship pagsh* (but I don't remember
if pags work right now in the FreeBSD client).

I'd think you should ship all of sys, rxgen, scout, udebug, cmdebug,
rxdebug, fstrace, up, and bos for administrative and debugging purposes.

Other distribution packages people have done (openafs.org) could be
helpful, also openafs top-level make has a "dest" target that puts a
Transarc style installation in a subtree "dest" of the openafs source
tree being built.

For the server, perhaps everything openafs would have put in its libexec
or sbin, and not already mentioned (except maybe copyauth).  And somehow
you are accounting for configuration files and a var tree with
appropiate permissions, as you noted.
