There have been a couple clues to support that the others (or hostiles) might actually be ex-cons put on the island for Dharma to study.
One clue came last week when Locke pushed 77 after being asked by Dharma guy whether the 'hostiles had taken control of the house.'
Number two involves the blonde woman who looks like Jack's ex-wife (Julie).
She suggests that it'd be great if her husband was dead and a little while later he gets hit by a bus.
While she wasn't directly involved, she may have been pressured by a lawyer to take a plea bargain that involved Dharma research.
