It is possible, but it might not be desirable.  In principle, you need 
to define "dc=prod, dc=corp" as an additional suffix for the database, 
something like

<existing>
database <type>
#...
suffix "dc=lab,dc=corp"
</existing>

<new1>
database <type>
#...
suffix "dc=lab,dc=corp"
suffix "dc=prod,dc=corp"
</new1>

However, as far as I remember, back-bdb and back-hdb only support this 
when compiled with a special #define, and at some performance cost.  A 
more straightforward solution would be to define

<new1>
database <type>
#...
suffix "dc=corp"
</new1>

and then add "dc=corp" as the root entry, and "dc=lab,dc=corp" and 
"dc=prod,dc=corp" as regular children entries of it.

It is not clear from the message what entry failed.  I assume it was 
"dc=prod,dc=corp" because it is not within the database's naming 
context.  However the subsequent entries would be incorrect as well, 
becuase "dc=geka" is not within the "dc=corp" naming context.
