Provided that you don't care about the security and performance
implications of SSL vs non-SSL connectivity, wouldn't it be possible to
have something like:

hostnossl    all         all         0.0.0.0/0             krb5
hostssl      all         all         0.0.0.0/0             md5

... and then have sslmode set to prefer or allow on the client side?
