As someone already mentioned, you can try the LDAP to NIS gateway from padl.com. For some reason I was thinking that Sun's LDAP server also has a NIS gateway but I was wrong. In the question 5. of the NIS+ EOF FAQ they mention:

Q. What is the future plan for NIS?
A. Through products and services Sun is enabling customers to make the

	transition to LDAP based naming services. Once these transitions
	are well underway, Sun will evaluate the appropriate time to
	formally announce the transition plan for NIS. It is likely that
	our plan will follow the one for NIS+, modified by experiences
	gained during that transition. The earliest that such an

    announcement would occur will be the Solaris 10 release.
