Ahhh...
bash-2.05b$ sockstat -4
...
ldap     slapd      180    8 tcp4   *:389                 *:*
...

This after following Dr. M's suggestion and looking in all.log (cough 
after turning it on cough cough).

Which showed this:
Nov 10 10:09:06 haiku slapd[289]: bdb_initialize: Sleepycat Software: 
Berkeley DB 4.1.25: (December 19, 2002)
Nov 10 10:09:06 haiku slapd[289]: could not open config file

Nov 10 10:09:06 haiku slapd[289]: slapd stopped.
Nov 10 10:09:06 haiku slapd[289]: connections_destroy: nothing to destroy.

Permission denied for core.schema?

Changed ownership and group for all schema files:
# chown ldap:ldap openldap/schema/*.schema

Which didn't change things.

Changed ownership and group for the directory holding the schema files:
# chown ldap:ldap openldap/schema

Which did the trick.

It's strange that the port would install rc.d/slapd.sh to call slapd 
with -u ldap -g ldap, yet not set the permissions on these schema files 
and directories accordingly.

Anyway, thanks Dr. M.
