Quoting imapd.conf(5):

        sasl_pwcheck_method: <none>
             The  mechanism used by the server to verify plaintext
             passwords.   Possible   values   include   "auxprop",
             "saslauthd", and "pwcheck".

So you don't need to set sasl_pwcheck_method at all if you're going
to use GSSAPI authentication exclusively. However, if you need to
do plaintext authentication you should run saslauthd (-a kerberos5)
and set sasl_pwcheck_method to saslauthd.

You can use "imtest -m gssapi ..." to test GSSAPI authentication.
