You can look at Samba 4 (still under development).  They say you can 
distribute GPOs using 4 and the NT gpoeditor, provided you have current 
templates (which you can find on your target system under the system 
directory).  It's still not as elegant a management environment from the 
GPO perspective, but it beats having to have the 2000/2003 ADs running 
in your environment.
