Yep. Run slapd under daemontools and use multilog.

$ cat run
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1 \
sh -c '
        exec \
        /usr/local/libexec/slapd -d 16 -f
/usr/local/openldap/etc/slapd.conf
'

$ cat log/run                   
#!/bin/sh                       
exec \                          
envdir ./env \                  
sh -c '                         
    exec \                      
    multilog \                  
        t \                     
        ${MAXFILESIZE+"s$MAXFILESIZE"} \
        ${MAXLOGFILES+"n$MAXLOGFILES"} \
        ./main                  
'

$ cat log/env/MAXFILESIZE 
1000000

$ cat log/env/MAXLOGFILES 
10


That setup keeps 10x1mb logfiles.
