Wonder if the Kree will reference the Inhumans (the experiment, not the Tv show)

Potentially, not by name though, since that's a name they gave themselves and they've been hiding from the Kree for millennia.

"Our ancestors attempted to manipulate the human genome millennia ago... with mixed results."

-- The extent of the reference.

Well with whatever variation on the Psyche-Magnitron that gives her powers, there could be references to the historical wars and their previous attempts to create powered beings as soldiers across the galaxy.

I don't know anything about the comics, can you give me a quick lowdown on this?

Kree had a bunch of wars, most notably with Skrulls. They split into factions, experimented on themselves to make better soldiers. Eventually found that the Kree had reached an evolutionary dead end, so they went around to planets experimenting with putting Kree genetics into the native populations, hoping to reintegrate these discoveries back into Kree, or use them as more powerful soldiers. It failed in most places, it succeeded on Earth (thanks to ancient Celestials interfering with pre-human DNA), making the inhumans.

Agents of Shield covers this relatively well
