I think an elisp implementation of GSSAPI is unrealistic.

gssapi.el uses
(defcustom gssapi-program (list
(concat "gsasl %s %p "
"--mechanism GSSAPI "
"--authentication-id %l")
"imtest -m gssapi -u %l -p %p %s")
I would guess that reusing gassapi.el for the new nnimap.el would be the
easiest. It's a matter of getting nnimap.el to recognising that GSSAPI
should be used, I think.
