In the "Quick Start" guide, follow the steps in "Installing the First
AFS Machine".

http://www.openafs.org/pages/doc/QuickStartUnix/auqbg005.htm#HDRWQ17

This includes steps for creating an admin user.

To create users:
kas create username -admin admin
pts createu username [uid]

You probably want the uid to match what's in /etc/passwd.

Creating users is different.  Instead of the kas step, you'd do a 'kadmin
createprinc' (something like that, anyway).  There are no different
compile options.  Just install kerberos, and then follow the documentation
in the AFS/Kerberos Migration Kit.
