You are correct.  This document http://puffysecurity.com/wiki/ypldap.html#2
states:

    #
    # ypldap cant use SSL or SASL...
    # You must allow unsecured authentication with the following line
    # Then setup OpenIKED VPN or use OpenSSH Socket or Port Forwording
    #


There is still value to ypldap as it is now, and getting feedback from
users (especially Active Directory) would be very useful.
If someone could document a configuration which uses IPSEC or OpenSSH
forwarding, that would be nice.

In future, maybe someone in OpenBSD or FreeBSD will implement things like
LDAP over SSL.
