It is not clear what you are asking, and others have given you answers. I would 
interprete
you question to be: Can the client side of Kerberos be used on a mcahine that is not 
registered as a seerver? 

The kinit program can be run on any machine, even if the machine is not defined as a 
service
in any realm. A user can even install in thier own directory the client components 
without 
using root. As a minimum, the user would need the kinit, any libs, a client 
application, like rlogin, 
and a kr5.conf file. The user can then use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to piont at the libs, and 
KRB5_CONFIG to point at the krb5.conf.
