Comment (by marcuscalhounlopez at mac.com):

 The gss functionality would come from Mac OS X.[[BR]]
 If I understand the explanation in #14775, heimdal is not yet known[[BR]]
 to work well with the Mac OS X kerberos implementation.

 Unfortunately, I can not say how the gss implementations compare[[BR]]
 in the various Mac OS X versions.[[BR]]
 I only have access to Leopard.

 Kerberos (as the GSSAPI mechanism implementation) seems to hold a strange
 place in MacPorts.[[BR]]
 Several port (e.g. php4, php5, nrpe, fetchmail, ...) seem to rely on the
 system kerberos.[[BR]]
 The postgresql port seems to rely on it inadvertently (as discussed in
 #14697).[[BR]]
 Kerberos seems to be an unwritten exception to the MacPorts policy of
 using its own libraries.

 Given this, I would humbly suggest that Portfile.3.diff is an acceptable
 fix.
