Stephen,
Actually to replace tnsnames.ora you can use about any LDAP server (it's different with single sign-on, enterprise roles and the like but finding what an alias means is a simple matter). You can even do it with OpenLDAP:
http://home.nc.rr.com/jtlayton/oid2openldap.html
Since you already have AD, the choice of the LDAP server is already made, but you can use OpenLDAP for a proof of concept. Works quite well according to my tests.
