A quick googling turned this up, not sure if it'll be useful as it seems like it is pretty limited. PowerBroker Identity Services . It doesn't seem like this is a common thing to try to do. – Melikoth Dec 28 '11 at 13:41

We've had pretty good luck with our limited trials of Centrify's DirectControl product:

Centrify DirectControl delivers the industry's most comprehensive support for extending Group Policy to non-Windows systems. It is the only solution to provide both user and computer policies, Mac-specific desktop lockdown policies, and advanced features such as group filtering and loopback processing. Group Policy functionality is seamlessly integrated into the all-in-one DirectControl Agent; there's nothing else to buy, nothing else to install. DirectControl is the only solution that provides authentication, access control, and Group Policy for non-Microsoft systems as a single, seamlessly integrated agent.
