How can Kerberos authenticate a user who isn't communicating through a Kerberized server? Will the request be automatically rejected as the user is trying to gain a service from an un-trusted server. If so, can the administrators of the Kerberos and the non-kerberos server set up trust, without instaling Kerberos on the latter?

Kerberos provides for authentication not authorization.
You are asking questions related to the authorization of the message
exchange.  This is up to the policy specified by whoever is running
whatever service it is that you are talking about.
