Not a problem.

In a technical sense, nothing stops us from calling krb5_kt_default() on
our krb5_context and trying it.

But the more I think about doing this the more I don't like it.  If an
application needs behavior which is dependent on decrypting the ticket,
it should identify the keytab to the GSS layer or do its own init/accept.
