I use kerberos for authentication on all my home systems, but I have a
local account on the machines, just no password.  I just have entries in
my pam configuration for kerberos (in /etc/pam.d/system-auth, for rh9
and fedora core 1).  

Kerberos only provides authentication, it doesn't do anything for remote
volumes or SMB.
