That depends on how secure the remote application server machine is.
I'm unwilling to type my admin password into most application server
machines.


I'd probably use kadmin to get a key on my Kerberos server, Kerberos
slaves, or LDAP servers.  I'd tend to use kadmin on a secure
workstation and scp (making sure not to forward credentials) to get
keytabs to most other machines.
