For running Samba as a domain controller using Samba LDAP will be a must, 
much like using Active Directory is a must on the Active Directory domain 
controllers..

You shuld however be able to run both the Samba domain controller and 
OpenLDAP on the same machine by binding them to different IPs.

If you are not planning on using Samba4 as a domain controller then LDAP 
is pretty much a non-issue as it's only relevant on domain controllers.
