Lets recap:
1. Requirements:
- Linux or Solaris
- NFS automounter set up at /net
- Kerberos5 configured for realm EXAMPLE2.COM, rpc.gssd running
- A NFS server (version 4 only) nfsserver.most.gov.cn exists in the
realm MOST.GOV.CN, with a subdir of test3
2. Goal:
A user provides his password to obtain a ticket for user2@MOST.GOV.CN
(optionally nfs@MOST.GOV.CN, if this is a requirement to do a mount),
and is then able to cd into /net/nfsserver.most.gov.cn/test3, and do a
successful ls -al there
Is that possible?

You'll need to have Solaris krb configured which stores its config in
/etc/krb5 not /etc as is the MIT default.  You'll also need read access
to /etc/krb5/krb5.conf and have the system properly configured to do NFS
with krb in general (read the Solaris 10 online docs).
Beyond that, whether a user kinit'ing is enough depends on which version
of NFS you are using.  On the client side NFSv3 sec=krb5p shares will
automount if the user triggering the mount has a krb cred in their
ccache (klist will show that) and does not require any keys in the
system keytab nor does it require root to have a krb cred in general.
NFSv4 on the other hand does require that the root on the NFS client
system have a krb cred in its ccache.  This can be done either by
running kinit as root or having at least one set of keys for either the
root/<host> or host/<host> service princ in the system keytab which will
be automatically used to acquire a krb cred for root.
On the client system "nfsstat -m" will show what version of NFS is being
used.
