Not likely.

I would guess that there is no ready solution for this but
I admit that I know little of web site programming and the libraries
that might be available there.

Nope.

Stanford University's webauth allows the server to make SASL/GSSAPI binds to the LDAP server, and check whether or not the user is allowed access to the particular location based on group membership. It simply does a user verification if it is ID restricted to kerberos. And it allows SPNEGO for those browsers that support it so that the user doesn't have to type in their username/password in those cases.
