--- Comment #1 from Benjamin Kaduk <bjk at FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Kevin Kammer from comment #0)

The Handbook attempts to document all supported versions of FreeBSD, and for
quite some time after the addition of the kdc_enable and kadmind_enable
settings in rc.conf on HEAD, they were not available in the 8.x series which
remained in support.  Since the old forms still worked, I ended up not updating
the handbook the last time I looked at this issue, since crafting text to cover
different behavior on different versions is difficult and can be confusing to
the reader.  I think at this point, though, all supported versions can use the
new syntax, so we should go ahead with this change; thanks for putting together
the patch.

With respect to the manual page, please feel free to compose a patch that uses
{kdc,kadmind}_enable to replace the previous versions.  If you do, it should
probably go in a separate bug entry.
