We know why the headers are not shipped. The Sun krb5 implementation does not match the MIT implementation it is derived from. They made changes to the internal data structures. They are not comfortable enough with the changes to ensure that they won't change from release to release. Since Sun does not change public ABIs from release to release they cannot open the APIs. Sun is committed to opening the krb5 implementation once there is an agreement on a standard krb5 api that can be safely implemented in multi-threaded environments with pluggable crypto implementations.
