Yes this would be easy if you know basic Perl programming and LDAP
programming. The LDAP stuff you can learn in a day by reading the
perlldap docs, they are very small.

The migration scripts create goups under OU=groups,$basedn just like
users are created under OU=People,$basedn. If you have not did so, run
the migration scripts provided with OpenLDAP so all users and groups
from /etc are on the directory and see how simple is one group entry
using some LDAP browser like gq.
