I can offer slightly better, namely that when I was on staff at MIT,
we hired a contractor to port MIT krb5 to android, which resulted in
https://github.com/cconlon/kerberos-java-gssapi and
https://github.com/cconlon/kerberos-android-ndk .  I didn't get a
chance to try them out and review them, myself, but it is somewhat
more reputable than "random stuff on github" would otherwise need to
be considered.  I do know of a couple of projects of varying
seriousness that built off of those.
