It's a source based distro on its own.

The OP falsely assumed the gentoo openldap package lacks back_ldap 
support. All he has to do is unmasking openldap-2.3.35-r1 and emerge it. 
If he wishes to install a newer version, in most cases all it takes is 
copying the ebuild to a new one with the new version number.
