If you're willing to use a pam-based solution it might be easier/simpler
to set up libpam-krb5 to talk to AD (which I believe there's a fair bit
of documentation for) and then have PG use PAM. Otherwise, it depends
on what your client is, exactly, as to the difficulty getting the
built-in kerberos support interacting correctly with AD.
