If you're trying to logon to a windows NT domain using a linux wks, yes this
is possible using winbind.
You can also mount the windows home dir of the domain user on the linux wks
using pam_mount, but because smbfs won't support creation of specific files,
like fifos and sockets, you won't be able to open a KDE session in the
smbmounted home dir.
Because the domain has to be set-up before you can logon to it (the wks must
be member of the NT domain), you won't be able to change it anyway, so why
would you need it at logon time? Or maybe you need to hide your linux station
because you're in a very strict corporate environment ;o)?
