I guess, you've read the docs too badly. Does the following do what you need?

(setq bbdb-completion-type 'primary-or-name)
(require 'bbdb)
(bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message)

I guess I'm not being very clear.  I already have BBDB integration
working perfectly and have the variables set the way I want them.  By
default, BBDB binds 'bbdb-complete-name to M-tab, but I wish to bind it
to tab instead.  The solution above works nearly perfectly, with the
exception that I don't want tab to be bound to 'bbdb-complete-name in
the body of my message.  Is there some way to make this binding
stateful, based on what part of the message I'm editing, i.e. the
headers or the body?

In an ideal world, I would type a part of someone's name in the To:
field, then hit tab, and Emacs would first search my ~/.mailrc, then the
BBDB and finally my LDAP directory (via EUDC).  I have all three of
these already but have to use tab, then M-tab, then C-c tab.  Does
anyone have a setup similar to this?

Again, thanks for everyone's help thus far.
