I just received a reply from Jelmer Vernooij. Just sharing in case 
others need this:
You can use "pdbedit -i mysql:passdb -e tdbsam:passdb" etc. to convert 
between the backends (or at least in 3.2.x).

Haven't tested it fully, but it seems to work, so then my original 
question about Samba 4 joining a classic NT4 domain no longer applies.
(Though it may still be useful to others, I suppose)

Regards,

Bram.
