This isn't currently supported, and I don't know that it will be added
in the near future.  You may be able to use the current work in the
RT::Extension::LDAPImport git repo to do what you want.

For example,
in LDAP John Doe is part of a group called Supportstaff.
in RT, when John Doe logs in, I want his user to be added to the group 
 support so that he'll
automatically get access to whatever support has access to in RT.
I love that LDAP can be used to authenticate, but I don't see how I can 
 setup permissions for
LDAP users until they've logged into RT once, so the account is visible in 
 RT to add to
groups
