Our existing OD directory service really does need OD on OS X server. Some 
other people have been working on a generic LDAP directory service for the 
calendar server and that would in theory work with any LDAP server.

At this point your best bet is to go with the XML directory given that the 
number of users you need to manage is small, and that we will soon have 
some admin tools out that will make it easier to manage.
