I tried it --- it's easy to hack libpq so that it does V2 instead of V3:
$ diff -c fe-connect.c~ fe-connect.c
*** fe-connect.c~ Mon Jan 28 21:06:30 2008

The answer is "no, it doesn't work":
$ psql -l
psql: GSSAPI continuation error: Invalid token was supplied
GSSAPI continuation error: No error
$
This surprises me; I would have thought the protocol was fairly
orthogonal to the auth method. We should look into it and see
if there's an easy fix or not. I have no time to poke further
right now, though.
