i'm not sure, but i don't think that we have pluggable nss modules yet.

DF is pam-enabled and uses openpam, like FreeBSD does (and I think 
NetBSD does as well, just an older version).  Probably it is just a 
matter of tweaking a little bit here or there.

I don't know dovecot, but postfix can for sure authenticate mail users 
without pam or nss.  Just add an ldap map for authentication.  Of 
course that's only worthwhile if you don't need those users to exist as 
POSIX-users on the system.
