Not really in MIT krb5; at the moment, we keep all of the KDC location
and communication code well under the hood. If the realm uses DNS, you
can look up the SRV record; for example:
$ host -t srv _kerberos._udp.athena.mit.edu
_kerberos._udp.athena.mit.edu has SRV record 0 0 88 KERBEROS-2.MIT.EDU.
_kerberos._udp.athena.mit.edu has SRV record 0 0 88 KERBEROS.MIT.EDU.
_kerberos._udp.athena.mit.edu has SRV record 0 0 88 KERBEROS-1.MIT.EDU.
