On a PAM aware system this should not be needed. We use pam_krb5
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/pam-krb5/). It works with password
authentication and stores the K5/4 TGT and AFS token. When doing GSSAPI
authentication it automatically converts the forwarded credentials to a K4
TGT and obtains the AFS token.

The only trick we had to do was to link OpenSSH against libpthread which
is no configure option and to set KRB5CCNAME to FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_*.
Normally the ssh just stores it to /tmp/krb5cc_*.

Yes, in krb5.conf simply set

[libdefaults]
forwardable = true
