It should be relatively easy to confine the MIT krb to a single area and not 
contaminate your heimdal installation. It uses the autoconf configure, should 
you should be able to build it thus:

./configure --prefix=/private/place/mit/krb5
make

and in Authen-KRB5, some edits in Makefile.PL to suit.

Cheers.
