After a lot of trail and error i've found the way to authenticate to apple's Opendirectory (snow leopard server) and thought it maybe useful to share.

<?php
    // using ldap bind
    $ldaprdn  = 'uid=USERNAME,cn=users,dc=HOSTNAME,dc=DOMAIN,dc=com';     // ldap rdn or dn
    $ldappass = 'PASSWORD';  // associated password

    // connect to ldap server
    $ldapconn = ldap_connect("HOSTNAME.DOMAIN.com")
            or die("Could not connect to LDAP server.");

    // Set some ldap options for talking to 
    ldap_set_option($ldapconn, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
    ldap_set_option($ldapconn, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, 0);

    if ($ldapconn) {

            // binding to ldap server
            $ldapbind = @ldap_bind($ldapconn, $ldaprdn, $ldappass);

            // verify binding
            if ($ldapbind) {
                echo "LDAP bind successful...\n";
            } else {
                echo "LDAP bind failed...\n";
            }

    }

?>
