Hi,


Regarding WITH_REPLACE_BASE, yes, this will make "make install" install
the files in place of the base system's ones, as opposed to in /usr/local/ .


If you do this, you will indeed want to add the following to your
/etc/make.conf :
NO_BIND= true


Regarding your LDAP question, I'm still at work and it's 9PM so I'm a
bit in a rush, but a quick google search turned up the following:
