In OpenLDAP, no.  Access control information (ACLs) are staticly
defined (configurable only in slapd.conf).  However, they are
dynamically interepted.  Good use of regular expresses and group
ACLs greatly reduce the need to have dynamically defined ACL.

For information about OpenLDAP group ACLs, see:
