getent (the one which gives to you your $HOME) syscal is provided by nss, in this case nss_ldap
maybe you should take a look to autmount, somehow modified for cifs servers.....

Subject: [pamldap] Attribute to pick up a server?
Hi list,
I've asked on pam_mount list but it seems I'd better try here.
I've configured ubuntu stations to authenticate with openLDAP and
mount home directories with pam_mount. It works well but...
There are 2 (geographical) places with one server on each. Each server
holds CIFS home directories. Each user has its home only on *one*
server, not both. There are ubuntu stations on both places.
I would like, wherever a user logs in, that he can access his home
directory on the right server, but I need to tell pam_mount on which
server the CIFS share is.
I would like to store this information in LDAP, retrieve it thanks
pam_ldap when the user logs in, so pam_mount can use it (like
homeDirectory for instance).
Retrieving the name server that shares the user's home directory is a
job for pam_ldap, isn't it?
Is there any LDAP attribute designed for this purpose?
Is it implemented in pam_ldap?
If it is not, do you know a way to make pam_ldap to retrieve a LDAP
attribute and export it into an environment variable?
Thank you for your help
