The THREDDS server includes an OPeNDAP server. So you should be set. You just 
have to configure your catalogs to include the OPeNDAP service. Basically, 
making sure your catalogs include the following service:

<service name="odap" serviceType="OPENDAP" base="/thredds/dodsC/" />

(The service name can be changed but the serviceType and base must be as above.)

And then making sure the datasets you want to serve with OPeNDAP reference this 
service. Something like:

<dataset name="TDS Tutorial: example data 1" urlPath="test/example1.nc" >
  <serviceName>odap</serviceName>
</dataset>

More detail is available from the TDS Tutorial:

Hope that helps,
