Yes, you need a full kerberos setup.  If you are setting up a new
AFS Cell there is no reason in the world to use KAServer instead
of KRB5.  The openafs-kpasswd package proviled the KAServer kpasswd
for sites that already use KAServer, so no, that wouldn't help you
here.

You will need to configure your KDC, configure your AFS key, and
then add principals to the KDC and the AFS PTServer.  The AFS
scripts should walk you through most of this.
