Hmm... hack the code?  I'm assuming you already know about this part of the
Makefile:

# This is for Kerberos 5 authentication. Contributed by Nathan Neulinger
# Univ. of Missouri - Rolla <nneul at umr.edu>
# KRB5_BASE = /usr/local/krb5
# KRB5_FLAGS = -DKRB5_AUTH -I$(KRB5_BASE)/include
# KRB5_LIBS = -L$(KRB5_BASE)/lib -ldes425 -lkrb5 -lcrypto -lcom_err

Granted, this is Kerberos 5, not Kerberos 4 which you said you need.  I
believe if you compile your Kerberos libraries with version 4
compatability, it should still work (though I'm not positive-- I've never
tried that).  Even if it didn't I'm sure the Kerberos 5 support would
provide you with the necessary stubs to avoid any message code hacking.
