Convert NIS --> Java Directory Server 6.2 (LDAP)?

I'm trying to replace NIS with Sun Java Directory server 6.2 and am
installing it following http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2489 and I
have the base LDAP server up. However, instructions on converting NIS
maps to LDAP are eerily absent. The Solaris 10 collection has a blurb
about using ldapaddent to populate the directory, but it only works if
your system is a client, which is like putting the cart before the
horse...

Is there any help on converting a NIS domain and all its NIS maps to
LDAP? I'm interested in the conversion of data into an LDAP server, the
documentation on adding clients looks pretty straightforward.
Documentation for the older iPlanet LDAP server mention using 'dsimport'
to convert maps, but this is missing from the current release.
