Well, you could do this in various ways.  e.g. rename ntlm_auth to
ntlm_auth.real and then create a script called ntlm_auth like this:

#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app/radius/samba/lib
exec /app/radius/samba/sbin/ntlm_auth.real "$@"

I don't believe so.

It seems what you need is to pass the -rpath option to the linker
while building Samba.  This will explicitly tell the dynamic linker
where to find the libraries when running the binaries.

Try configuring Samba like this (untested):

LDFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath,/app/radius/samba/lib ./configure ...
