This may be a very silly question, but have you enabled slapd in /etc/rc.conf? The startup scripts in /etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d won't run unless the associated control variable is set to "YES" in /etc/rc.conf. To find the right variable and its current setting, /usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd rcvar which in this case tells us the control variable is $slapd_enable, so /etc/rc.conf needs to contain slapd_enable="YES" As a bonus, if this isn't set but you want to do a one-off start or stop (for example during testing), you can use onestart and onestop: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd onestart which ignores the control variable.
