FTP Software talked about their support for Kerberos at Interop; it should
be available in their next production release, scheduled to start shipping
before Jan '92.

Supported applications will be klogin, kcp, and ksh as I recall.  They 
haven't Kerberized Interdrive (their NFS client) yet, unfortunately.

I think the Kerberos libraries will also be in their development kit,
though I don't know a date for the next version.  Hopefully the same
time frame.
