There was some code, which required to manually change
an #ifdef in include/ldap_defaults.h about
SLAPD_MONITOR_DN; however that code is completely
broken. At present I started working on the subject. It will
be completely reworked. You may find some hints in an old
posting,

http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/200009/msg00031.html

Hints are welcomed, as the work is right at the beginning
and we've plenty of time to come out with a solution that
fits most of the users' needs. In the following days I'll post
a message on openldap-devel apout the solution I'm going
to implement. Suggestions are welcome.

At present there's no way.
