I have just been there and done that.  It wasn't a simple job; just 
about every entry in an exported LDIF was rejected by OpenLDAP.

The schema shouldn't be a problem, try importing that first and see if 
it is accepted.  I haven't bothers with acis, we will re do those form 
scratch.

The biggest problem with the data was OpenLDAP is much stricter in 
applying schema rules, so I had to write an application to parse, fix 
and regenerate the LDIF (we also changed to structure and base DN so 
there was a lot of translation required as well as fixes).  You might be 
lucky and not have many years of accumulated cruft to fix up.  Try 
importing a few different entries and see how you go.
