I finally decided to look into this and reading RFC 1731 suggested that it
should be very easy (I know GSSAPI itself quite well).

There is, however, the problem of the non-existence of a GSSAPI API
accessible from Emacs. There is, of course, gsasl which seems to have been
used in the past, but it seems to me as though the design choice in nnimap
is to be a full Elisp implementation of IMAP?

As far as I can tell, there is no "standard" external application that can
provide access to GSSAPI, so what is the suggested solution?
