Look here:

http://webserver.offal.homelinux.org/LDAPMemberAdaptor/V3.0/LDAPMemberAdaptor/

But it has some pitfalls:

It is read-only. So it is not possible to change attributes of an account 
(like receive digest or not and so on).

Also it is not possible to held both LDAP members and others.

So in most cases it was a better solution for me to not use this modul, and 
instead use a little perl program which searches the LDAP Server and then 
adds members with the mailman command-line tools.

Sincerly,
Klaus
