I think you have sasl2 support enabled for the server
Make config will tell you if it is.
If so it will try to install the sasl2 openldap client which will install the files in the same place as openldap-client without sasl2 support.

Remove the sasl2 option from the openldap-server port and do the install, or delete the openldap-client port and install the open openldap-server port.

Johan
