Not as of now, but mainly because we don't have anything that needs it.  
We wrote it specifically for AFS because we use it here on our PBS
clusters.  :-)

AFS is a blessing and a curse.  One of the aspects of its curse is that it
uses a completely separate version of kerberos (based off version 4) that
isn't compatible with anything else.

However, the code that actually obtains an AFS token is a really small
module; I don't know anything about Kerberos 5, but I imagine that it
would be trivial to add it.  If anyone has a need and wants to spend an
hour or two hacking it out, I'd be happy to a) help, and b) incorporate it
into the mainline package.
