If you use samba as PDC , kerberos isn't involved for authentication it's samba that does the authentication stuff. In case of AD , AD uses kerberos.
At this moment only samba4 (which I have configured) provides everything that is a samba server , a kerberos server (hacked hemidal) and it's own LDAP server (though other LDAP servers can be used , requires lot of hacking at the moment).
