Kerberos does not have any specific requirement to use TCP/IP. The
protocol specifies that messages are uses ASN.1 encoded strings but
does not speak to how they are transmitted. The current MIT
implementation of Kerberos V5 uses the socket abstraction on top of
TCP/IP but it should not be a terribly difficult job to port it to
another communications interface. DCE Security is also based on
Kerberos V5 and uses ASN.1 strings but uses the DCE RPC instead of
sockets for communication.
