It is possible only if you copy/paste the hash string and users id from Mediawiki to OpenLDAP and then you use Mediawiki wfEncryptPassword() function to check users at login time (be careful, Mediawiki code is GPL licensed !!! so either you're working with 
GPL or you'll need to rewrite a function that does the same hash, which is not that complicated)

Note that if what you want to do is using LDAP within Mediawiki, there already is an extension doing that : http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication
