I don't know about RHEL5, but centos 5.2 does:

[root at pirez ~]# rpm -q centos-release
centos-release-5-2.el5.centos
[root at pirez ~]# rpm -q sudo
sudo-1.6.8p12-12.el5
[root at pirez ~]# ldd $(type -p sudo) | grep ldap
        libldap-2.3.so.0 => /usr/lib/libldap-2.3.so.0 (0x00762000)

And I believe it's been present for all the 5.0 series.
