I think the philosophy behind pg_hba.conf is that you distinguish client
*systems*.  So one client might be Kerberos-capable, or one client might
be Windows and use SSPI.  For that, it doesn't matter which of multiple
ports or local sockets it uses.  So I don't think there are any changes
needed in this area.
