The question begs.... Could you simply do away with the PTSERVER and VLDB and put these databases in LDAP ? C-API LDAP client code with kerberos 5 support has long been there - so this is an "attainable" idea.
I just recently had a brief chat with someone who tried something similar (implement a ptserver that is fed directly from LDAP). His statement was that he ran into a dead end - performance was simply not good enough and AFS operations apparently rely on extremely low ptserver latency. While the attempt probably dates back quite a while, he seemed rather confident that the limitation was still there. (Can't seem to remember his name, sorry.)
