Just following the sudo ldap readme:
http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/readme_ldap.html

got me there. 

Bascically you have import the sudo schema (which I got from converting
the openldap schema supplied with the source RPM via the
ol-schema-migrate.pl script), create an entry to put your sudo config
under, import your sudo config, and then configure /etc/ldap.conf to
point at that entry.
