Not terribly difficult.  Dump your kerberos database out in ASCII.
Massage that into /etc/passwd format.  Use password_import.  (This might
lose the passwords, I think, which implies the "flag day" Jonathan
mentioned.)

You might look at sec_salvage_db; it can dump the DCE database into ascii,
and writing a script to convert between the two ascii formats shouldn't be
very difficult.
