It shouldn't be any different from a Transarc client (as Love already
told you).  And the common way of doing this is to use a 5-to-4
translator which would allow you to get a v4 ticket for `afs' from
your v5 KDC and then stuff that into the kernel.  This is the way that
`kauth' from heimdal <http://www.pdc.kth.se/heimdal> works.  I believe
there are similar ways of doing it with MIT krb5 (possibly with the
AFS-KRB5 kit).

There's nothing in rxkad that's that dependent on v4 really, and if
you're able to re-link your servers with the rxkad library that comes
with arla you should be able to just use v5 and no have to do any
strange tricks at all.  Transarc is also adding support for v5 but I'm
not sure in what version that will be available.
