No, it's not.  But do you need a domain ?  If you need to centralize
authentication on a group of Windows machines, NT4-style domain are
relatively straightforward to implement in Samba.  I recommend you refer
to "Samba by Examples", a Free book full of tutorials and available on
the Samba web site.
