We have Kerberos 4 running on Irix 5.2. I don't remember having
to do anything special to make it run while going from Irix 4
to Irix 5. Kerberos 4 pl 10 from MIT claims to work on Irix 4.
We had to make some minor tweaks such as the following bit of code
to do pty allocation in rlogind.c:

and later avoid doing this

if "sgi" is defined.
I haven't tried using an Irix system as a master or slave Kerberos server.
Apart from that things seem to be working ok. I am probably not allowed
to give you our source tree since you are outside North America. But
if you identify specific things that do not work, I might be able
to tell you what changes were necessary in the corresponding code.
