It sounds like the question was solved, but I just wanted to take a
moment to plug my DataPages extension:

http://code.google.com/p/data-pages-extension/

Provided you had a way to export your people-data into JSON files (or
through a respond_to block in another Rails app's controller), you
could make a Virtual Data page for your people directory that
templates the external data.  (See the examples on the wiki.)

The upside of this would be that you wouldn't have to co-mingle your
people data with your document data, which is cleaner IMHO.  Also, you
wouldn't have to implement new Radius tags if your data schema ever
changes.
