The annoying bit about translating the LotR characters to BG is that hardly anyone wore armor. Gimli is descibed as wearing a "shirt of steel rings," and he's the ONLY one who was visibly armored. And, of course, Frodo had the mithril chain, which would translate to Elven Chain. This means that everyone else is wearing enchanted leather, and Boromir has his shield.

I would do:
Gandalf: Fighter->Invoker (He wields Glamdring)
Aragorn: Stalker
Gimli: Berserker
Legolas: Archer
Boromir (why am I the only one who's included Boromir?): Inquisitor
Frodo: Swashbuckler, with 22 CON

With no real Priests in the party, everyone must depend on Aragorn (and Legolas, I guess, unless we make him a Fighter/Archer instead of a Ranger/Archer) for basic healing needs--all other remedies must be taken care of at Temples, such as when Frodo got Level Drained.

[ADD:] Correct, Sam's "backstab" of Shelob was not an actual Backstab: She tried to crush him to death by sitting on him, but she didn't count on him being able to stand up straight with his sword pointing up like that.

[CORRECTION:] Make Boromir a LG Wizard Slayer instead, so he can have a low WIS. Wait, that would mean he couldn't wear the Ring......damn! I wonder if he can still use the Horn of Gondor as a Quick Item.....
