What exactly do you mean by a "PDC" for Linux hosts? Central
authentication or the ability to support "domain logons" with remote
user profiles and stuff?

If you just want to consolidate authentication onto a central  server,
LDAP (or NIS) can do that for you.

What functions do you want your PDC for Linux hosts provide?
