Unfortunately, each major Kerberos implementation uses a substantially
different kadmin protocol (well, Heimdal's kadmind server supports most of
the MIT protocol), and Microsoft's AD in particular doesn't use the kadmin
protocol at all.

You can create something kadmin-like to run on UNIX and create keytabs for
AD if you use LDAP to create the object in AD and set its password and
then generate a key from the same password.  I don't know if anyone has
already done that work and provided it in some easy-to-use packaged form,
though.
