I managed to compile/install pine by obtaining
pine-4.58-1.9.0asp.src.rpm from rpmfind.net and modifying the spec file
as:

[balay at dreamcast x]$ diff old/pine.spec new/pine.spec 
7c7
< Release: 1.9.0asp
---
> Release: 1.9.0asp.sb
128c128
< %{?!nokerberos: rm -f krb5 && mkdir krb5 && ln -s /usr/kerberos/include krb5/include && ln -s /usr/kerberos/%{_lib} krb5/lib}
---
> %{?!nokerberos: rm -f krb5 && mkdir krb5 && ln -s /usr/include/kerberos krb5/include && ln -s /usr/lib krb5/lib}
[balay at dreamcast x]$ 

The only problem I have with this is - when using postfix as MTA (run
locally for sending mails via /usr/sbin/sendmail), pine just hangs. So
I use sendmail instead of postfix as the MTA.
