Not sure if you've not tried this already, but check
/usr/ports/net/samba/scripts dir to see the configure script that runs
on initial install.

The have a look at the "work" dir to see if LDAP functionality has been
set. If it is, then need to actually delete the work dir before
reinstalling. Otherwise you'd only be reusing the same configure options
that were originally used - which I presume is the problem.
