I ran into the same question the other day.
The dynamicObject Class and entryTtl attribute are only loaded if
OpenLDAP version is declared as development version, I'm experimenting
with cvs HEAD on this subject.
The entryTtl attribute is an operational attribute which is set by
slapd. The syntax of this attribute (in schema_prep.c) is clearly
defined as 

SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12 NO-USER-MODIFICATION "
                        "USAGE dSAOperation )",

Please read rfc2589 carefully, in particular on client requests. I
must admit AFAIK there is no client application yet and no client
schema with an attribute of requestTtl.
