What did make(1) told you about the conflict?  My guess is that you have 
choosen SASL, if that's a requirement then you have no way other than a 
replace of openldap-client-2.3.37 with openldap-sasl-client-2.3.37, 
which can be done with:

	portupgrade -f -o net/openldap23-sasl-client openldap23-client

If you don't have portupgrade installed, use 
ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel or ports-mgmt/portupgrade.

However, fortunately, if you don't need SASL functionality of slapd 
(this is the usual case), then you will be able to remove the option 
then install it without problem:

	cd /usr/ports/net/openldap23-server
	make config
	(uncheck "SASL")
	make clean all deinstall install

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
