IBM includes a Kerberos server and client (Version 4) in their new release of
TCP/IP for MVS.  Unfortunately, they don't seem to have any applications (the 
MVS version of telnetd, for instance, is not Kerberized).  I think they also 
have an implementation that runs under VM, but I won't swear to it.

TVG has a version of Kerberos (I've never actually seen it) that runs under 
VAX/VMS.

Our company (Open Computing Security Group) has a Mac client for sale.   It 
includes kinit, klist, kdestroy, a Kerberized rlogin client and (real soon 
now) kpasswd and kadmin.

FTP Software is including (has included?) a Kerberos client in their latest
release of PC/TCP.  OCSG also sells a PC client.

I don't know if this counts as non-Unix, but our company has a NextStep
I realize that these are all *commercial* implementations, but I hope this 
helps.
