Well, i know that you can get usernames/passwords through ldap using a pam module .. libpam-ldap probably. So if you can get the users names and passwords over this ldap interface then it should be completely possible As for the file mounting, i'm not sure ... i know there is stuff in the kernel for it, but i've never used it (and like samba it probably needs some help from userland applications).
