There is no lockout due to licensing.

To add realms to the pop-up menu, you have to edit the 
edu.mit.Kerberos file, which contains the Kerberos configuration. 
There is no GUI for adding realms at this time.  See:

<http://web.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/macdev/Development/MITKerberos/Common/Documentation/preferences-osx.html>

for all the details.

If you are still having problems after following the documentation, 
let us know.
