No. The "net getlocalsid" command doesn't need a running samba server.
So the solution is:
1) Start an empty ldap server, don't start smbd/nmbd
2) smbpasswd -w ldappassword
3) net getlocalsid - this should write the SID into ldap
4) adjust the SID in the smbldap scripts
5) populate ldap
6) start the SAMBA servers
