There are no plans to integrate Samba in a way you describe. Our next goal on this path is to allow cross Kerberos trusts (IPA v3) but supporting Windows clients natively is not something we have in mind. The intent however to pretend that IPA is yet another AD domain. If your main domain is going to be Samba 4 instead of AD it might work without installing AD. But we do not plan to carry install and configure Samba 4 ourselves at least in the near future (read couple years).
