Another thing I'm not sure about is the dynamic modules. This option
enables support for them:

###
### Enable dynamic module support
###
.if !empty(PKG_OPTIONS:Mdso)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --enable-modules
.include "../../devel/libltdl/buildlink3.mk"
.endif

but then SLAPD backends and overlays are not built as modules. If you
run "pkg_info -L openldap-server" there are no modules listed.

So if "--enable-modules" is selected, I wonder if Makefile needs to
pass backends + overlays as modules as well:

--enable-overlays=mod --enable-mdb=mod --enable-monitor=mod ... and so
on.

So you can only load the modules you need and keep memory usage down.
I've not used it in this way, so not sure if there are any downsides
associated with modules and how portable this is across different OSes.
