Presumably with the PGINA/LDAP solution, the has method is something unix-compatible (e.g. unix crypt+md5, or SSHA) that is hard to break with a password cracking program? Are the LDAP transmissions done in the clear? If so, you could sniff the traffic and capture the passwords. (You may not consider this ethical.) Either way, if you had a database of plain text passwords you could then create the NTLM passwords for each user.
You could try configuring samba to use permit plain text passwords for authentication. I think (but not sure) that could then configure samba to use pam authentication (the same way a unix login would.) But you would then need to configure all the Windows PC's to support plain text passwords.
