One solution is to add a LDAP database like:

database bdb
suffix "dc=ncsu,dc=edu"
# other regular db settings

database ldap
suffix "o=NCSU,c=US"
suffixmassage "o=NCSU,c=US" "dc=ncsu,dc=edu"
uri ldap://
# uri ldapi:// may be an alternative, since you're using
# the same server anyway.

see slapd-ldap(5) for details.
