Is there a supported (or even unsupported but it works is fine) way to pre-seed the kerb realm before running the IPA setup in the quick start?  I’ve got a handful of services (most notably OpenAFS and a trust to an existing Windows Domain) that I should prefer not to have to rekey if I can avoid it.  If I can simply load the existing dump, then let FreeIPA create what it needs, that should make my life easier.

I think there have been some attempts to move from MIT Kerberos to IPA 
with manual migration.
Please search archives. I remember Simo Sorce was providing some 
guidance. Last time it was more than a year ago AFAIR. I do not think 
the loop was ever closed to know whether the migration was actually 
conducted or complete.
I am not aware of any Heimdal migration like this.
