It appears as if the MacPort "kerberos5" is no longer maintained. It seems
there is community consensus that
it makes sense to use the Apple provisioned kerberos system libraries akin
to X11. Should, therefore, the
kerberos5 port be deprecated / orphaned entirely and taken out of the ports
subversion repository unless and until
the MacPorts community consensus changes on such a sensitive topic?
