I just tried the latest FreeBSD port (2.1.20) and it seems to work just
fine for me. I just did

cd /usr/ports/net/openldap21
make install
/usr/local/libexec/slapd

then I tried

/usr/local/bin/ldapsearch -x -h localhost -b "" -s base +
/usr/local/bin/ldapsearch -x -h ::1 -b "" -s base +
/usr/local/bin/ldapsearch -x -h 127.0.0.1 -b "" -s base +

and all worked fine. I also tried this from another machine using the
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of the server, this worked fine as well.

What exactly are you doing? Are you using SASL?
