I'm sure you can easily modify CAS or Sakai to communicate with multiple
LDAP servers based on a user's login id.

But this sounds like a perfect use case for federated authentication using
Shibboleth where each institution would host their own Shibboleth Identity
Provider.  This would allow users to login to their home institution's
identity provider and Sakai would allow the users access based on shared
trust.
