What about simply putting a number in front of the script,
I didn't check but am really certain that we start scripts
something like this:

	cd $LOCALBASE/etc/rc.d
	for i in *.sh		<--- here you get an alphabetically
					sort order !
	do
		if [ -x $i ]; then
			/bin/sh $i start
		fi
	done
	
So this would be sufficient to start slapd before slurpd:

	/usr/local/etc/rc.d/001.slapd.sh
	/usr/local/etc/rc.d/002.slurpd.sh

or alternatively

	/usr/local/etc/rc.d/openldap-01-slapd.sh
	/usr/local/etc/rc.d/openldap-02-slurpd.sh

We already have things like:

	000.mysql-client.sh
	000.pkgtools.sh
	000.wine.sh
	010.pgsql.sh
