if your AD server supports Webservices. e.g. the Windows server 2008 R2 with ADWS then salesforce can consume this as like any other webservice.
Or you can export the AD user list as a CSV and then push it back into salesforce using any ETL tool like Jitterbit, dataloader.io etc..
some sample links i googled up : http://goo.gl/VFQACF

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4381943/how-to-export-csv-of-active-directory-objectsone of the link specifies a script that can be generated, once that happens you can even use the API from salesforce to load the data in.
Hope that helped a little :)
In a general scenario whether AD supports web services or not? I need to verify with windows team.
