Probably not. How often do you need to use that?

What do you mean by "Kerberos is running"?

I am not sure how hard it is to tell them to go to the Finder, go to
the Applications folder, double-click on Kerberos, click on "Get
Tickets".
Also, note that Apple has not published a mechanism for menu
additions yet, so anything we did would be unlikely to continue
working in the future. That's the main reason why we added the Dock
feedback to the Kerberos application icon, but no menu addition.
