Take this with a grain of salt, since I'm still struggling with ldap:

1) copy the users you want to migrate in a file, say /root/people, and 
the corresponding shadow entries to, say, /root/shadow
2) add the content of /root/people at the end of /etc/passwd
3) use pdbedit -i to import smbpasswd
4) use the smbldap-migrate-passwd script this way:
   smbldap-migrate-passwd -d account -a -P /root/people -S /root/shadow
5) remove from /etc/passwd the entries you added in step 2
6) eventually migrate existing groups with smbldap-migrate-groups

Bye
