When I was a summer intern at Bellcore a few years ago I wrote one.
But I don't have the source anymore. Basically, what you do is take a
login that understands both kerberos and YP, hack it up a little to do
the appropriate checks, and then add some of the kadmin "ank" code to
add a new key to the database.
Alternatively, you can provide a user-space program that does the same
thing -- ask a user for a password, compare it to the passwd entry in
YP, and then add the password to kerberos. This, too, would be fairly
simple to write but I don't have code for you...
Perhaps someone else has code to share?

PS: I might have to write something like this in the next few months,
but not in the near future.
