You can simply work around that. After the migration:

- Configure your openLDAP to listen on a different port than 389
- Start openLDAP again
- Write a simple script that loops through all accounts on your DC. 
Inside this loop you retrieve the required attributes of these accounts 
from openLDAP and insert them with ldbmodify to AD.
- Shutdown openLDAP

Sounds more difficult than it is. 15 mins and it's done, if you know a 
scripting language.
