No; unless someone else has ported nss_ldap.so to NetBSD-current.

Note that I recently changed the API between get{pw,gr}* and
the NSS backends to make it easier to implement third party
nss_foo modules like LDAP & Winbind.

I intend to port PADL's nss_ldap.so to NetBSD and/or write one from
scratch, sometime in the future.
