The older of the two efforts I believe is rxgk, and had dual goals of addressing the AFS "cache poisoning" problem, and secondarily introducing support for separately managed (file) servers. I believe RPCSEC_GSSv3 was initially conceived (by Nico Williams) as a means of addressing the NFSv4 equivalent of the cache poisoning problem, but the current work on it (by Andy Adamson) is as a dependency of NFSv4.2 server-side copy. (Apologies to the participants if I am mis-reporting any of the history.) The IETF discussion of these efforts is on Kitten and NFSv4. There's interesting recent discussion on the Kitten WG alias.
