I don't think running Kerberos server in IpCop box would be a good idea.

If you really need Kerberos, use other machines as Kerberos servers
(I really can't see using Kerberos in a production environment with
only one KDC, even though I guess it's technically possible) and add
iptables rules in your IpCop box to relay authentication requests.

Without knowing more of your environment I won't judge if you need
Kerberos, but just for NFS it's not needed.
