This is the official ruling I was given.

The pitcher may play a defensive position. Once he does this, the DH shall be terminated for the remainder of the game. The starting pitcher must bat in the slot vacated by the defensive player he is replacing on defense. The new pitcher would then bat in the slot vacated by the DH.

In NAIA rules, the pitcher does not have to be listed as the P/DH on the lineup card. And this does not prevent him from playing defense in a different position.
