Actually, if heimdal is built with AFS support:

1) create your KDC realm;
2) shut down kaserver, start KDC in krb5-only mode;
3) use hprop to populate the KDC from kaserver.DB0;
4) restart the KDC.

And changing the way you authenticate isn't necessary, nor is KeyFile
munging, because you'll have imported the existing key as part of the
hprop and because the KDC understands enough of the kas protocol to work
with klog.

The hprop invocation looks like:

/usr/heimdal/libexec/hprop -m /var/heimdal/m-key \
                           -d /usr/afs/db/kaserver.DB0 \
                           -K -c ece.cmu.edu -S -r ECE.CMU.EDU \
                           -D -v -n |
/usr/heimdal/libexec/hpropd -n

(Substitute your realm and cell names, check pathnames, and it's
possible that some hprop options have reversed their meanings in newer
versions:  you want to ensure that it copies over the KASPECIAL keys.)
