You probably want to define one of the following examples from 
/etc/defaults/make.conf in your /etc/make.conf:

# Kerberos IV
# If you want KerberosIV (KTH eBones), define this:
#
#MAKE_KERBEROS4=        yes
#
#
# Kerberos 5
# If you want Kerberos 5 (KTH Heimdal), define this:
#
#MAKE_KERBEROS5=        yes
#
# Kerberos 5 su (k5su)
# If you want to use the k5su utility, define this to have it installed
# set-user-ID.
#ENABLE_SUID_K5SU=      yes
#
#
# Kerberos5
# If you want to install MIT Kerberos5 port somewhere other than /usr/local,
# define this (this is also used to tell ssh1 that kerberos is needed):
#
#KRB5_HOME=             /usr/local
