The golang faq has an entry "Do Go program link with C/C++ programs?".  It 
seems that the calling convention is not necessarily the same as standard 
C/C++ libraries, but that there is a C compiler available which outputs 
the golang calling convention.

As such, it seems that one could compile an existing kerberos 
implementation using that compiler and link the resulting libraries into 
golang programs in a pretty straightforward manner.

(I have not personally attempted to do any of these things.)
