I don't know about Kerberos but we have MH 6.7 built here with POP
enabled and it works fine.  Came up first time.  We have a couple of
people on Macs who use Techmail (from MIT) to access their mail.  We
tried using POPmail but it doesn't use the POP protocol(!).  Instead it
uses some bastardised cross between SMTP and POP which is incompatible
with both.

Jim Reid <jim@computer-science.strathclyde.ac.uk> mentioned that he had
some patches for POP support with MMDF-style mailboxes and to fix a bug
with where the POP server would miss the last message in the mailbox.
We don't run MMDF here so I don't whether his fixes worked; the last
message bug was already fixed (i.e. wasn't present) in our 6.7 source.

Our MH config is:

version: MH 6.7 #7[UCI] (pta) of Mon Oct 15 12:14:46 EST 1990
options: [BSD42] [BSD43] [DPOP] [FOLDPROT='"0700"'] [ISI] [LINK='"#"']
         [MHE] [MHRC] [OVERHEAD] [RPATHS] [RPOP] [SBACKUP='"#"']
         [TYPESIG='int'] [UK] [WHATNOW] [SENDMTS] [SMTP] [POP] [BPOP]
         [NNTP]
