the easiest (meaning "simple") solution for that might be to just add 
one entry for each service you'd like to serve, like that:

dn: uid=john,ou=mailuser,dc=company,dc=com
userpassword: foo
...

dn: uid=john,ou=homepageuser,dc=company,dc=com
userpassword: bar
...

that solution can be used easily with all kind of LDAP-aware software..


another possibility is to add your own attributes like "mailpassword", 
"hompagepassword" and thelike and change your client software to use 
that for authentication.. LDAP design would be much nicer in that case, 
but it'll be quite a hack on the client side, i'd guess..
