This can be done by either writing your own backend or use
one of the "programmable" backends.  OpenLDAP 1.2 offers
both (though the only "programmable" backend is back-shell).
OpenLDAP 2.0, when released, will offer Perl and TCL backends.

This effort is dead.  See devel list archives for details
as to why.
