Can't you just use the pam_afs.krb modules to keep your K4 TGT around,
forward that, and then use afslog?  Works with SSH.

Also, I the inetd that comes with AFS automatically does token passing for
you.  See "Using UNIX Remote Services in the AFS Environment"  in the AFS
admin guide and AFS admin reference:
