The samba site has very good instructions on setting up a PDC using
LDAP, plus examples. Although they are for Suse or Red Hat,  the only
issue is that in most cases FBSD stores the files in a different
location and the Linux getent command is not available (I haven't found
a Fbsd equivalent). I have a PDC/BDC setup working following them. 

There are plenty of guides on DNS - DHCP setups - google is your friend
