It's disabled because of this in the openldap23-server/Makefile:

.elif ${WITH_BDB_VER} == 3
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	--disable-bdb \
			--disable-hdb
PLIST_SUB+=		BACK_BDB="@comment " \
			BACK_HDB="@comment "
BDBLIB=			db3.3
.else

hdb needs 4+
bdb needs 42+

So it looks as though you'll need build the port with:

WITH_BDB_VER=4{,1-3}
