Is there anyway to integrate the OS accounts of UNIX-like sysetms with an AD?

Yes, you can configure your UNIX system to use RADIUS authentication and then implement IAS (included with Windows) to enable a RADIUS server that's integrated your domain. It works quite well and is fairly straight forward to configure.
