 The point of going into the trouble of splitting it up (as discussed on tech-pkg in december, 2013) was that almost every combination of the components makes sense:
 You may want to stick with nss_ldap, but switch to nss-pam-ldapd-pam (or vice versa)
 You may want PAM, but not NSS (or vice versa)
 You may event want a client, but not the server because OpenLDAP has an overlay (slapo-nssov, which is still in my queue of needing to be pkgsrc-ed) speaking the same protocol.
 
 So I think three separate packages do make sense. At least for me.
