The PDF "Active Directory for Mac OS X Server v10.1" still has information that you'll need in order to configure 10.2 machines (client or server) to authenticate via AD. The instructions for changing the schema and adding the right paths for NFS automount (for instance) need to be done on the Windows box, but once those changes are complete then clients can log in to their boxes using AD username/password as soon as Directory Access has been configured to access the server through LDAP. No X server needed, although you can use Workgroup Manager to make changes to your users. You can share home folders off of any file server that's hip to the AD as well, including but not limited to X server.
We're testing this now where I work, and so far the client piece is working more smoothly than using Workgroup Manager to edit the schema (which still throws a lot of mysterious errors of the "Error of type -14131 on line 1047 of UserAdvancedPluginView.mm" variety). We're also not yet having luck pushing out the LDAP authentication setup through DHCP, although it appears to be supported in X.2 server.
And as other folks have noted, Apple support is of little or no help here. There's a lot of useful info from various sources available at macwindows.com - much of it conflicting, but giving some good direction.
