How are we not there? The only real issue I know is allegedly requiring host keys for gssd (e.g. "joining the domain"), but rpc.gssd(8) documents "anyname" principals.

The only per-user authentication option is Kerberos. Username/password based authentication is not possible.

That seems like a feature; mounting SMB is done on a local system on the basis of password, and it's horrible. (I assume you could, in principle, use some other GSSAPI mechanism.)
