The MVC framework supports the DependencyResolver which integrates with Ninject for MVC. Although it is not possible to define a custom factory for ASMX web services, you could do the following:

public class Service : WebService
{
  public IContextProvider ContextProvider {get;set;}

  public Service()
  {
    ContextProvider = DependencyResolver.Current.GetService<IContextProvider>();
  }
}

While you cannot inject dependencies during construction of your service, you are able to resolve them yourself within the constructor.
