IMO that should be a separate port.

In regard to removing kerberos from base entirely. The original suggestion 
by pfg@ to replace Heimdal in base (and taken up by myself), was met with 
significant resistance from a person. The current plan is to make Heimdal 
private, for now, when I get the cycles.

I would like to see the removal of Heimdal from base some day, either 
replacing it with MIT or entirely (relying on ports only). Pkgbase may make 
it politically palatable, providing the ability to move forward toward this 
goal.
