There's nothing on *nix interpreting GPOs.

I think it would be a great project, but not that easy to implement. It
need interfaces to different services like pam for passwort and login
management, write/edit config files (global and per user), etc.

Not sure if you are asking about server or client.  Are you asking about :

   1. Pushing GPOs via Linux SaMBa Server to Windows machines?
   1. i believe this has been somewhat doable for years using a windows
      workstation mmc pointed at a Samba Server.
   2. Pushing GPOs via Linux SaMBa Server to Linux machines?
      1. At least four years ago, LikeWise.com had some very limited GPO
      support for Linux clients.


Other options to research would be "Desired State Configuration" and
or
otherwise move to a devops flavor of configuration management.  MS AD GPOs
are in XML and should to some extent be parseable by anything.
