The manpage only lists the builtin sources.  If a builtin source with
the specified name isn't found, the code will search for an
nss_xxxx.so.1 shared object and load that.  So once you install the
nss_ldap port, then the ldap source will start working.  Also consider
enabling nscd and adding the "cache" source before your "ldap" source. 
ldap group memership queries are slow :)
