AFS servers do accept Kerberos V tickets natively, sort of.  They don't do
proper krb5 authentication yet, but they can use the core of a krb5 ticket
as a token provided that you're using DES as the encryption type.  You
still get a single krb5 ticket for the AFS service and use it everywhere,
though.

Full support for Kerberos v5, including other enctypes and individual
service tickets for each server, is still coming.
