It's possible from a theoretical standpoint but no code is included to
do this.  There's sort of a strong belief that doing so would make it
too easy to abuse administrative privilege in a realm.  Perhaps more
importantly it might lead to application architectures that depend on
being able to become other users--in effect depending on being able to
do something like the su command on Unix.  Such application
architectures tend to be the wrong way of using Kerberos.
