don't no if it is a good solution, but i just do this by setting the  
following in radiusd.conf:

authenticate {
     ...
     Auth-Type LdapMAC {
        ok
     }
     ...
}

the Auth-Type is set in users file depending on huntgroups:

DEFAULT  Huntgroup-Name == switch, Autz-Type := LdapMAC, Auth-Type := LdapMAC

i assume there are better/smarter sollutions as one can read "don't  
set Auth-Type" on many places but it works here ;-)
