Could this be because the version of Heimdal in -STABLE (or -CURRENT)
is relatively old, and has some API's different than MIT krb5? I ran
into this once trying to compile an apache module for kerberos. 

There is also a heimdal port which is more up to date, that might 
work better, if you prefer heimdal. (security/heimdal, i think)
