I'm pretty sure such was available, though I don't have a reference
handy. After all, kerberized telnet was written by Frank Borman at
Cray... 

If you look at CNS/V4 rather than the MIT V4p10, you'll see all of the
references that really need 4 byte ints use KRB_INT32. A few of them
assume that it is *exactly* 4 bytes, instead of *at least* 4 bytes,
but not many; if you're trying to do a port, that should help a lot
(just look for KRB_INT32 and then look for things that take the
address instead of manipulating it a number.)
