The ndb* binaries don't have any direct dependencies, so a simple replacement of these is sufficient for those. On a machine hosting a data node, you don't need anything except ndbd. On a machine running the management server, you don't need anything other than ndb_mgmd - however, you'll probably want to put ndb_mgm and the other ndb* programmes on this machine as well. On a machine running an SQL node, it's generally a good idea to replace everything except the data directory, and to run mysql_upgrade afterwards to catch any possible changes in the system tables.
