Currently, you cannot.

There is a draft proposal for how such a combination could be done (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-kitten-aes-cts-hmac-sha2-05), but it is just a draft and has not yet been finalized as an IETF RFC.  After that happens, someone would have to actually implement the proposal in a kerberos library.
