there's hidden magic in the zimbra version of sasl, which may or may not affect openldap, as sasl is so tightly intertwined with ldapv3.
apart from that, the build scripts, install scripts, upgrade scripts etc are all hardcoded for openldap so making this generic would be the first step. it's something i've wanted to do for long time and if no-one else has done i'll have a stab after solaris port is done (yes, it will happen eventually..).
if scalability, stability, and commercial grade software/support is the issue (which is a very good reason for doing this sort of adaptation), it might be better to start with the more modern commercial derivative, SunONE ldap server.

I believe the server might also be on a non-standard port.

zimbra ldap uses standard port, would be v.nice if it would move off by default. i think it has probably stayed here to make the GAL available to mail clients with minimal pain.
