While I'm not aware of any locale specific problems with catgets(3),
my knowledge in this area is VERY limited, hence I will refrain
from comment here.
But I believe my statement that catgets(3) is more widely
available than gettext(3) is true.

I refrain again.

In *briefly* looking that (development) version, it
appears that only certain portions are under LGPL and,
most importantly, it appears that under circumstances
that -lintl library (which slapd would be linked with)
would contain GPL code. Anyways, the issue would have
to be carefully examined and that takes time (which
I don't have at the moment).

The issue in not GPL v OPL (as the OPL and GPL are compatible),
but whether all the terms of all the licenses which are
applicable to the executable can be met. If any component
which is subject to the GPL will likely clash with at least
one other component of the executable.
