Simple answer... No...

I know of a few utils that will downgrade a DC to a standalone, but I've never seen anything that will move it the other way.

The DNS is easy though... just add the service.

Once again DNS is easy, but there is no way to move a stand alone to BDC, it has to be done at installation. Sorry but there are no utils it is a full reinstall.
