The base system OpenSSL has no support for implementing the Kerberos
ciphersuites (the OpenSSL code is extremely MIT Kerberos specific).

The ports system OpenSSL appears to have no support, either.

If one compiles OpenSSL oneself, *and* has MIT Kerberos, *and* enables
the Kerberos options, *and* has all ciphersuites (or at least the
Kerberos ciphersuites) specified in your application's configuration,
then you might be affected.  But that has nothing to do with FreeBSD.
Thus, answering your question again:

  Isn't FreeBSD vulnerable to the second "Out-of-bounds read affects
  Kerberos ciphersuites" security problem?

No, FreeBSD is not.
