It may happen with SPNEGO and krb5, though I'm not certain.

It can definitely happen with IAKERB and krb5, but that feature won't be
in MIT krb5 until 1.9.

For a basic krb5 exchange, I believe gss_init_sec_context will return
GSS_S_CONTINUE_NEEDED for mutual authentication, but that's still only
one token exchange from each side.
