I don't think that that Samba can serve as a PDC to NT 4.0 BDCs (or vice versa); the HOWTO says it's impossible, and

Then it must be 3.0 that Samba can fully replicate to/from PDC and BDCs. 2.2 (and 2.0 IIRC?) offered the functionality of a PDC or BDC, but only with Samba itself.

"New to Samba-3 is the ability to function fully as an MS Windows NT4- style domain controller, excluding the SAM replication components. However, please be aware that Samba-3 also supports the MS Windows 200x domain control protocols."
using LDAP and various replication possibilities, the implication of SAM on multiple Domain Controllers is possible, but not the reality.
