Depends on exactly what you mean by "integrating".

Can you have crypto-authenticated updates between BIND nameservers and Domain
Controllers? No.

Can you have "multi-master replication" between BIND and MS-DNS? No.

But if all you want is for the Domain Controllers to write SRV records into
your BIND-hosted zones, with ACLs based (weakly) on source IP address, then
BIND and AD can "integrate" just fine...
