If that other system can be made to use one of the same string-to-key 
functions that your Kerberos realm uses, then yes.  (Or if you knew in 
advance what sort of hashing that other system were likely to use, you 
could hack that into your realm before the last password-expiration 
interval comes and have all the info you'd need for the successor 
system when the time came.)
