Even though GCs are Active Directory specific, I don't see why OpenLDAP would not support that type of query.

Er, because they are AD specific. I note that the particulars of DNS SRV lookup for any particular application protocol/service is application protocol/service, per the DNS SRV technical specification. I think it quite reasonable to leave implementation of general (multi-protocol/service) framework for DNS SRV lookups to general purpose (DNS and/or discovery) libraries.
