I see this all the time.  It's one of the curses of software dependencies.

The technique I use and recommend is portupgrade with the -o option.
Something like:
portupgrade -fo net/openldap23-client openldap-client-2.2.30

will replace the 2.2 version with the 2.3 version.  I've done this on a
few systems without problems.  You can then install packages that require
the 2.3 verison without hassel.
