Let's see:  What implementation of Kerberos?  (Heimdal, MIT?)
Installed as part of the base system, from the Ports Collection, or by
hand?

The correct solutions are:

  (a) Do not build Kerberos against OpenLDAP if you do not use
      LDAP functionality.

  (b) When building Kerberos, make certain that the linker flags
      include an appropriate setting for RPATH, e.g.
      `-rpath /usr/local/lib'.
