Yes, just make sure that in your PAM configuration [or equivalent]
you specify that it uses the local passwd file first.  Then setup
a local password which is different than your Kerberos password.
You can use this to log in.  You will not obtain tickets, so you
will have to kinit(1) when you go back to work.
