Sort of. We have kerberos support, but its not enabled at the moment. The reason being 
is that the kerberos libraries were in /usr/lib64 which is a big problem if the audit 
system started before the nfs components (and it does). I think the kerberos libraries 
might have been moved so we could potentially turn that on sometime soon - but I have 
not been updating or testing the code. If you build your own packages, you can turn it 
on now.
