You should really keep copying the mailing list so that other people can
also help.  I've re-added the mailing list as a cc.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking.  If you're asking if there's a
way to get a Kerberos TGT without contacting the KDC, the answer is no.
That's a requirement of the Kerberos protocol and is fundamental to how
Kerberos works.  If you're asking something else, could you try
rephrasing?
