I did a 'locate -i bdc' and turned up the following

file:///usr/share/doc/samba-doc-2.2.7a/docs/htmldocs/Samba-BDC-HOWTO.html

Which had the following snippets

Can Samba be a Backup Domain Controller?

With version 2.2, no. The native NT SAM replication protocols have not 
yet been fully implemented. The Samba Team is working on understanding 
and implementing the protocols, but this work has not been finished for 
version 2.2.

However version 3.0.0rc1 is out I am unsure of whether this supports 
samba as a BDC perhaps asking the samba mailing list join at 
http://lists.samba.org
