This is not possible right now. Samba 4 AD DC is missing cross-forest trust support which is required for interoperability with FreeIPA. There is ongoing work on implemented needed features in Samba and current set of patches to be merged upstream measured in several hundreds commits. We plan to target Samba 4.3 timeframe.
