Using "Alfresco" for certain Sharepoint things would do the job with
samba3/Ldap.

If sharepoint is expecting an AD DC, then you really have no option but to
run an AD DC.  See our wiki at
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/samba3upgrade/HOWTO for an
explanation of the process of upgrading to Samba 4.0 as an AD DC.

An OpenLDAP server simply won't have the right structure that sharepoint is
looking for.
