Oops - I'll need to learn a bit more about how HDBentry works :-)

Is is at all possible to have the hdb directly stored in the database be
different to that used as an internal data strucutre?  I know it removes
some of the beauty of the system, but in Samba we have found it very,
very useful.  In particular, I extended it to support attributes that
your kadmin protocol knows about, but your HDB doesn't :-)

Also, I would like to have a 'plaintext password' attribute passed
around, so that we can use it in a number of 'password syncronisation'
areas.

That's not an issue for Samba right now - the NTLM authentication scheme
is stuck at MD4 passwords, and is unlikaly to move further than that. 
That is what Kerberos is for ;-)
