I want to clean up these log files. I have several replicas, and could roll downtime between the systems.

I am assuming the process will be to shutdown slapd, slapcat the data,

slapd back up.

Uhm... no... I assume you have db_archive (or depending on how your slapd was built, perhaps it is named slapd_db_archive). If you check its manpage will tell you how to safely delete the log files which are no longer needed without having to shutdown your servers at all.

Adding:

# Automatically remove log files that are no longer needed.
set_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE

to your DB_CONFIG file is a nice way to deal with them.
