    Well,
    I hate to answer my own question , but to help others that
    might search later, here it it.

    The problem ( if it is one), is that the startup script located
    in /usr/local/etc/rc.d called slapd.sh has a configurable
    argument that launches slapd either listening for tcp4, tcp6
    or both. The default script ( the one installed as part of the
    port make, make install routine) is set with no arguments
    specified. The result is that slapd only listens for tcp6
    traffic. The comments in the code show examples of
    arguments to get it to listen to tcp4. Once I set the argument
    string properly in the slapd.sh file, it listens for tcp4 and thus
    responds when queried.

    Sorry for the wasted bandwith.
