I am new to using psycopg2 and have come across an issue I cannot find reference to online. Will psycopg2 work with a PostgreSQL database built with GSSAPI? As a wrapper for libpq I would think it could but I find no documentation showing it will and no references stating it won't. Any information on this would be very helpful.

AFAIK this API is down in the C library level.
As far as you could pass the correct Kerberos strings (you can):
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING
.. GSSAPI should work transparently, independent from Python implementation.
