The Makefile is far too late --- this has to be adjusted at configure
time, else configure will conclude that libldap isn't available.
(I assume that Unixware's linker is sane enough that the link test
will fail without the supporting libraries.)

I'd be inclined to do something like add

EXTRA_LDAP_LIBS="-llber -lresolv"

in src/template/unixware, and then in configure.in add this where
needed:

if test "$with_ldap" = yes ; then
_LIBS="$LIBS"
if test "$PORTNAME" != "win32"; then
AC_CHECK_LIB(ldap, ldap_bind, [$EXTRA_LDAP_LIBS], [AC_MSG_ERROR([library 'ldap' is required for LDAP])])
LDAP_LIBS_BE="-lldap $EXTRA_LDAP_LIBS"
if test "$enable_thread_safety" = yes; then
# on some platforms ldap_r fails to link without PTHREAD_LIBS
AC_CHECK_LIB(ldap_r, ldap_simple_bind, [$EXTRA_LDAP_LIBS],
[AC_MSG_ERROR([library 'ldap_r' is required for LDAP])],
[$PTHREAD_LIBS])
LDAP_LIBS_FE="-lldap_r $EXTRA_LDAP_LIBS"
else
LDAP_LIBS_FE="-lldap $EXTRA_LDAP_LIBS"
fi
else
AC_CHECK_LIB(wldap32, ldap_bind, [], [AC_MSG_ERROR([library 'wldap32' is required for LDAP])])
LDAP_LIBS_FE="-lwldap32"
LDAP_LIBS_BE="-lwldap32"
fi
LIBS="$_LIBS"
fi

I'm not in a position to test that though ...
