Unfortunately radius isn't getting a lot of attention right now. It was 
release as a tech-preview but we aren't actively working on it.

Another user reported a similar problem and a resolution was discussed 
in this thread: 
https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2008-October/msg00033.html

The python fix is:

--- a/ipa-radius-server/ipa-radius-install
+++ b/ipa-radius-server/ipa-radius-install
@@ -19,11 +19,12 @@
  #

  import sys
+sys.path.append("/usr/share/ipa/ipaserver")

  import traceback, logging, krbV

  from ipaserver import installutils
-from ipaserver.plugins import radiusinstance
+from plugins import radiusinstance

  from ipa import ipautil

That still isn't enough because the configuration we create doesn't work 
on F10. You have to comment out the INCLUDE snmp.conf among other 
things, and notably krb5 support seems to be missing!? The rlm-krb5 
radius plugin doesn't seem to be included in the freeradius package.
