I believe none of the Telepathy upstream developers use Kerberos.

For the necessary D-Bus API changes, you or another Kerberos user would need to
tell us what information needs to be transferred from the GUI to the
implementation in order to do the login (if at all possible, we want all state
transferred to the CM to be explicit, rather than picking it up from files/the
environment/daemons/whatever).

Someone would likely also need to patch Loudmouth (the XMPP library we use) to
be able to do Kerberos authentication.
