Is there any way to manually create a hidden entry, in a similar style to the contextCSN, or would this require the an overlay to be written?
That's what the contextCSN is for. Just ldapsearch for it and if they match, they are up to date:

There's a Nagios plugin to check contextCSNs over several servers here:

I will note that in case of bugs in the replication mechanism as present in older versions of OpenLDAP 2.4, this check is not 100% reliable (some changes were missed out). For the original poster, if you're using replication in 2.4.11, you should upgrade to 2.4.23 to avoid mentioned bugs...
