One thing to note when trying this (I've actually got it to work, 
although I'm not sure I could repeat it - using the keytab functions in 
samba3 helps).  Windows has negative caching, so if you have ever failed 
to connect to a kerberos service you won't normally be able to connect 
to it until the next reboot.  For some reason specfying the realm 
bypasses this (:gserver;realm=foo:bar:/cvs).
