If you don't mind paying, PADL may do what you want
http://www.padl.com/Products/NISLDAPGateway.html
Or fire up a Solaris 10 instance, which may also do what you want
Both will take an LDAP server and "republish" as NIS. LDAP is authoratative
and all changes must be made there (so you can't make your NIS map from
NIS sources and expect the changes to propagate to LDAP).
