This was discussed over zephyr but I just realized that no one ever
sent mail. Since Greg was part of the discussion I'm not sure if a
formal report is required, but figured it couldn't hurt.
gaim properly uses my kerberos credentials when connecting to MIT's
jabber servers when I'm using a linux client, but not when I'm using a
solaris client. Fore reference, here is the most relevant part of the
zephyr conversation:

>> in the 'accounts' confid screen, I set jabber to auto login.
>> it DTRT on linux, but prompts me for a password on solaris
