OpenLDAP is in the ports.  If you're not familiar with installing ports, I recommend
reading the handbook section on it:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html
Beyoned that, the OpenLDAP (www.openldap.org) web site is a lot of help, I agree
that there could use to be some tutorials written on this subject - I should get off
my butt and write one.
My suggestion for now:
Install OpenLDAP, dig into the OpenLDAP docs and see what you can get working,
if you get snagged, contact the list with specific questions - it's a lot easier to get
an answer on this list if you have a specific question like: "I've installed OpenLDAP
from the ports, but every time I try to start it I get error #20" or something.
