IMHO the dependency is logically correct as rc.samba contains
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]@/bin/openpkg rc" which uses the "openpkg" frontend (instead
of calling "rc" directly) and this went into SetUID mode on 20060823
accrording to the HISTORY file of the "openpkg" package. So, you're
right: technically still still might work, but at least logically
packages using "openpkg rc" really do this because of the SetUID
functionality is now in effect.

Do you mean "samba" required "kerberos" if you have _NOT_ used
"kerberos::with_ads=yes"? If this is the case, then not the dependency
is missing but Samba accidental uses Kerberos now. Then we have not
to add the depdendency. Then we have to fix Samba. If it is just
under "with_ads=yes" everything is fine.
