I think that stopping FAM from running sounds like fixing the symptom
rather than the problem, no matter which way you put it. If there's a
problem with FAM running on AFS, it should be fixed, not worked around.
So if you can collect any information on the crash, please do so and
report it.
Having said that, disabling FAM should be as simple as commenting out
the appropriate line in /etc/inetd.conf and telling inetd to reload its
configuration file. This won't kill any existing FAM instances but will
stop new ones from spawning.
