Yes, here an extract of the smb.conf of my PDC (solaris 2.8)

logon script = %U.bat
logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u
logon drive = H:
domain logons = Yes
homedir map = auto_home.org_dir
NIS homedir = Yes

You must configure/compile samba 2.2.3pre (cvs version) with theses options :
./configure --with-automount --with-nisplus-home
