The documentataion in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk explains why ports which
specify USE_OPENLDAP keep wanting OpenLDAP 2.3 - unless you specify 2.4

# USE_OPENLDAP
    If set, this port uses the OpenLDAP libraries.
    Implies: WANT_OPENLDAP_VER?=23

# WANT_OPENLDAP_VER
    Legal values are: 22, 23, 24
    If set to an unkown value, the port is marked BROKEN.

# WANT_OPENLDAP_SASL
    If set, the system should use OpenLDAP libraries
    with SASL support.
