You're probably running into the same issue I ran into this weekend when 
I upgraded the FreeBSD.org cluster's ldap-master.

The problem we had that openldap24-server since 2.4.58_2 wants to build 
all overlays as modules.  We use the syncprov module in our 
configuration for replication.  That by itself isn't too exciting ... 
except that we also store the configuration inside LDAP.

I rebuilt openldap24-server without DYNAMIC_MODULES and with SYNCPROV.  
That didn't work either because we expect the mdb backend to be loaded 
as a module.  Second try: with DYNAMIC_BACKENDS, without 
DYNAMIC_MODULES, with SYNCPROV.  That worked.

Give that a go.

Meanwhile, if you have to downgrade, you can always do a pkg install 
/var/db/pkg/openldap-version-that-worked.
