I don't know that this can be done (although I'm guessing it wouldn't
be too hard to hack thesource code if you were determined).

However the opposite _can_ be done under certain circumstances, where
Samba authenticates against NT, and then falls back to it's local
smbpasswd file.  This is very thinly documented.  Have a good rummage
around smb.conf(5) and the various authentication docos.
