First of all, the LDAP support in Heimdal means that Heimdal can store
its database in a LDAP server and access it over LDAP.  This might or
might not be what you want to do.

This support was contributed by Luke Howard <lukeh@PADL.COM> and he
has some information about it on his web-page

I believe there's support for using Kerberos under gss-api
authentication in LDAP, and here Heimdal should be usable but this is
not something that I've tried.  Maybe someone more in the know can
fill us in?
