Samba 4 has been stated to be incorporating AD features. But Samba 4 has been in development for a while now. Like stated above, the functionality would most likely be limited.

It depends. AD provides a wide range of services. It may be possible to find alternatives to all of them, however I don't think you'll find a single solution that replicates all of the functionality.
