Hi,

If you setup an authentication which correctly sets the REMOTE_USER 
field then you should be able to use it with XWiki. You can then use the 
AppServerTrustedAuthentication module to accept your user and create 
it's user page.  You can activate it using this in xwiki.cfg

xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.AppServerTrustedAuthServiceImpl

Implementing XWiki in Kerberos itself is a lot of work and not really 
usefull since you can have it in Apache or the App server.
