Stefan already addressed this:

"I guess the linking error is because the libs are not built for x64.

Also I never use precompiled libs in TSVN. I always compile the libs
myself and create a build script. Only that way I can guarantee that the
libs don't use an incompatible c-runtime and are always compiled for
both win32 and x64."

If there are no x64 MIT Kerberos libs, then the precompiled libs are
useless for TSVN - they can't be integrated into the 64-bit version.

If the MIT libs need a different C-runtime than TSVN, that's yet
another layer of headaches & support trouble.

You're free to roll your own version of TSVN, but Stefan has a
specific way he builds the packages he ships (and supports), and this
far it's not working with MIT Kerberos.
