Of course -- but can Cyrus be configured to support _both_ Kerberos
(credentials authenticated via GSSAPI) and LDAP (via saslauthd)?  Some users
will use Kerberos credentials, others may use username/password which we will
look up in LDAP.  (It is not necessarily the case that all users will have
corresponding Kerberos credentials, else pam_krb5 would be appropriate.)

I have not done this, but it should be possible. You can setup ldapdb/auxprop or saslauthd/ldap (or both) and make sure to offer gssapi mechanism.
