I have been looking at those docs.  The part I don't get are the file paths 
involved, as they're very non-FreeBSD'ish.  /usr/local/var??

Do I need to alter environment variables to put things into their proper 
places, or create the directories that it expects?  I would expect config 
files for a port to be in /usr/local/etc/krb5 or some such.

BTW, working with the MIT version now, since installing the port and all.  
Also got the pam_krb5 port in there as well.  I think I'm about ready to 
really muck this thing up once I understand what all I need to do about file 
paths.
