No, the system-supplied krb5 bits are from the Heimdal distribution.
The MIT distribution is available as a port, but is not part of the

I may be wrong, but I think that security alerts are issued only
for the base system (i.e., things that are part of FreeBSD proper).
Vulnerabilities that affect ports are documented here:

I'm sure someone will correct me if this is wrong.
