We have fixes to krb_get_in_tkt() and krb_get_pw_in_tkt() in libkrb.a using
an andrew_string_to_key() in libdes.a that iterate over the TGT using
both string_to_key algorithms to do exactly this. You're welcome to the
former. I don't know if the latter can be exported. I think
all that you need to do, though, is make a cover function that rearranges the
arguments from the MIT Kerberos convention to use the AFS library version
of the routine which you presumably already have.
