Well, I have done something for that. 
I wrote custom type for openldap_ou, user, group, with different
providers. 

Basically, I could say :

openldap::openldap_group { "mga-sysadmins": }

and have it added to ldap.

The goal was to ease the replication of the ldap on a test vm, along the
various usual vcs stuff ( comments, audit , etc ).

But I didn't went further, as this required to give access ( in my
implementation ) to the full ldap with ldapi:/// access, or to find a
way to store the password somewhere. 

And I did it by calling ldapsearch/ldapadd directly, and that's not very
clean :)

I have this somewhere in git, but didn't push to our svn, I will see
once I am more fluent in ruby.
