The question is how do you want to identify or filter out those "few users", 
maybe you're better off giving them an account in your ldap.

However, if you have a seperation by the way the request comes in, 
e.g. an internal network or the internet your can restrict access over
internet with mod_authz_host in apache2 and also enable 
user/password based authentication for everything that
comes from outside, see:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authz_host.html

But those users have no user identity in DokuWiki. If you want them
to be able to modify pages (non-annonymous), you need to implement
a special authentication in DokuWiki which is able to mix two authentication
providers. If you know PHP and look at inc/auth/ldap.class.php, then 
it's rather simple.

Best,

Jens
