I'm not an expert either, but here's how I believe that would work:

The back-krb5 interface would query the KDC each time an LDAP query is
made.  If you have redundant LDAP servers, back-krb5 would be
configured to point at whichever KDC is appropriate.  LDAP replication
of the KDC data isn't necessary, since the data isn't stored in
LDAP-native dbs.  Any replication that goes on would be kprop, outside
of the LDAP system.
