Oops, that looks like a typo. That should be
(nnimap-stream kerberos4)

Personally, I wouldn't add the gnus-secondary-select-methods to the
list, but rather just specify the list directly like I did above.

I don't know any better ways to debug it, but there are several
different gnus to try: the debian gnus package (overrides the xemacs21
one I believe), the gnus that's packaged with xemacs21, and the gnus
that's packages with emacs21.
Also, there's a bug report on http://bugs.debian.org/121560 that says
that 'imtest' is required to make a kerberos_v4 imap connection. That
file only seems to be available in the cyrus-imapd package.
