AFS Tokens.app ... also allows some manipulation of pts group membership.
(linux version using gtk2 also available)

with the afs listcells fix, all it needs is a recompile under openafs1.4

Doesn't currently integrate into system preferences, but, you can upon the
initial install of afs, set the cellname, cell alias, edit CellServDB entries,
and edit startup options.

afsinstall.app (should be called afsconfigure.app, but was originally intended
to be part of the afs installation package and run at that point).

Would be nice to find some docs on how to write a finder extension. Last time I
looked, I could not find anything.

I then turned to trying to get AFSTokens.app to be a service, but had not yet
got that working properly, either.
