There is the "bones" version of Kerberos version 4, which has the
encryption routines and all the encryption calls stripped out.  This
is exportable, and I believe the work of combining the bones version
with a non-US implementation of DES has been done (at least once).

For Kerberos version 5, see RFC1510.
