[Samba] Is kerberos authentication against AD possible without joining the domain?

On CentOS (and presumably RHEL), the authconfig tool can set up
kerberos authentication via PAM so that locally added users can be
authenticated at the shell/ssh level if the password they use succeeds
for the matching user name in Active Directory - and this works
without joining the linux box to the domain. Now I'd like those
linux users to be able to map their home directories from a windows
box using that same password. Is this possible without joining the
linux host to the active directory domain? I don't care if they have
to re-enter the password instead of using their domain credentials
directly, I just don't want to have to maintain a local password on
the linux side for people who already exist in AD. And I don't want
to join the domain.
