These usually assume winbind, which doesn't work with OpenBSD. It's probably necessary to pull the user list by LDAP, generate accounts to go in /etc/passwd, and find a way to make up UIDs for them (ldapsearch and a shell script may be coerced into doing this; some other language will likely be simpler). There's an old article mentioning some scripts to do this, but the ftp server hosting them is no more. Perhaps someone has a copy.

This is simpler (as is pulling Active Directory data to e.g. validate recipient email addresses when front-ending some Windows- based mail server.
