 That, and because the official project name is `perl-ldap': <http://ldap.perl.org/>

 NetBSD has it as databases/p5-perl-ldap:
   <ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/databases/p5-perl-ldap/README.html>
 
 OpenBSD uses databases/p5-ldap:
   <http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/databases/p5-ldap>
 
 Gentoo has dev-perl/perl-ldap:
   <http://packages.gentoo.org/packages/?category=dev-perl;name=perl-ldap>
 
 I guess people coming from ldap.perl.org will find it quickly, others searching for
 Net::LDAP will need a bit more time, and people usings ports won't care because the
 dependencies are taken care of for them.
 
 I might have followed your suggestion if this were a new port, but I don't believe
 the given rationale justifies the effort of an repocopy.
