Depends upon what you mean by "access."  You may need to have a domain 
administrator create the principals for you or otherwise extract the 
keytabs.  You do not need logon access or even "domain administrator" 
access.  You only need to be able to create new user / computer accounts 
and then run a few commands to extract the keytabs.  This permission can 
be delegated to you by a domain admin.

You might want to consider having the domain admin setup a Kerberos 
cross-realm trust to your MIT Kerberos realm.  That might be easier than 
having keytabs for all machines in Active Directory.
