An ACL like:

principal  *    *@REALM

does seem to prevent that principal from actions on host/* principals.

The kadmind man page says:

        operation-target
               [Optional] may specify a partially or fully  quali�
               fied  Kerberos version 5 principal name.  Each com�
               ponent of the name  may  be  wildcarded  using  the
               asterisk ( * ) character.

I take the "Each component of the name" line to mean that *@REALM is not 
the same as */*@REALM, and that seems to be the case (with MIT 1.2.2 at 
least).
