Yes, this is most definitely possible. Just make sure that Pine is also
built with Kerberos support enabled. If it is enabled, it should be
automatic.
Here's some stuff if you're paranoid about security. It's what I use:
If you want to force Kerberos (as in, if Kerberos fails, get an error),
add the /secure switch to the IMAP specification, e.g.,
inbox-path = {imap.uci.edu/secure}INBOX
Another thing that you may want to force is TLS (as in, get an error if
TLS is not negotiated):
inbox-path = {imap.uci.edu/secure/tls}INBOX
Note that both TLS and Kerberos are automatically negotiated, but by
default Pine will fall back to non-TLS and plaintext passwords. /tls
forces an error if TLS isn't negotiated, and /secure forces an error if
Kerberos isn't negotiated.
