I figured it out. I needed to only include the slapd.conf file in the directory, not slapd.ldif. Also generated rfc2307bis files and populated the database. Very cool! Thanks to the developers here!

Import the configuration database su root -c /usr/local/sbin/slapadd -n 0 -F /usr/local/etc/slapd.d -l /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.ldif

What is the contents of slapd.ldif? And I assume the /usr/local/etc/slapd.d/ directory exists and has no contents.
