I have a couple of guesses.

1) If you installed php5-ldap from ports, you generally have to restart
   Apache for the running PHP to recognize that it's there.
2) Check /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini to ensure the .so was
   properly listed.  I've seen cases where it's not listed correctly.

You can check the output of php_info() to make sure PHP thinks it's
there.

Hope this helps.
