Why do you think MIT Kerberos can't do that?

Our current release has LDAP database support.  I'm not really an  
expert on the use of LDAP, though, so aside from just pointing you at  
some documentation, I can't give you a lot of specific advice.

http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.6/krb5-1.6.3/doc/krb5-admin.html#Configuring-Kerberos-with-OpenLDAP-back_002dend

If you're using a version of MIT Kerberos included by an operating  
system vendor, it may or may not be recent enough to have the LDAP  
support, and the LDAP support may or may not have been compiled...
