This can be reproduced directly with an msmtp command line:

price@cross-cap:~$ msmtp --host=outgoing.mit.edu --port=587 \
 --auth=gssapi --user=price --auto-from=on --maildomain=mit.edu price
msmtp: support for authentication method GSSAPI is not compiled in

I just imitated /usr/lib/debathena-msmtp aka /usr/sbin/sendmail for
that command line.

This appears to be an issue with msmtp 1.4.16-1, which is in
hardy-backports, intrepid-backports, and jaunty.  With 1.4.15-1 in
lenny, as on Linerva, it works.

It looks like this isn't the first time msmtp stopped working with GSSAPI:
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=374381

Perhaps someone should confirm it's still broken in squeeze with
1.4.17-1, then report a new bug against the Debian package.
