Yes.  Any application compiled for Fedora with the standard kerberos 
installation will be linked to libcom_err.so.2.  Installing the old 
kerberos lib will add it do your loader path, and you'll end up with 
unreliable loading / symbol resolution.  Fedora applications will load 
libcom_err.so.2, and the old kerberos libs, and because of those will 
load libcom_err.so.3.  As a result, Fedora applications may crash at random.

Is it really that hard to get the src.rpm for your application and:
rpmbuild --rebuild <src.rpm>
