Not really.
What I did was add a krb5_config_set function to allow setting
individual properties and then change the default krb5.conf location
to an empty file.
I believe Heimdal has such functions (although I don't know if the
work was fully completed due to memory management issues). I don't
know if MIT has such functions.
