This should be a matter for kdb5_util 
(http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-latest/doc/admin/admin_commands/kdb5_util.html)

kdb5_util -sf /path/to/stashfile load /path/to/dumpfile

Presumably you would then install the stash file in the standard location 
so that the krb5kdc process will find it at startup.
