You might also be able to extract that information from the information 
in cn=monitor or one of the cn=monitor entries under the database entries -
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/cli/8.0/Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Core_Server_Configuration_Reference-Core_Server_Configuration_Attributes_Reference.html#Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Core_Server_Configuration_Attributes_Reference-cnmonitor
and
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/cli/8.0/Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Plug_in_Implemented_Server_Functionality_Reference-Database_Plug_in_Attributes.html#Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Database_Plug_in_Attributes-Database_Attributes_under_cndatabase_cnmonitor_cnldbm_database_cnplugins_cnconfig
and
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/cli/8.0/Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Plug_in_Implemented_Server_Functionality_Reference-Database_Plug_in_Attributes.html#Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Database_Plug_in_Attributes-Database_Attributes_under_cnmonitor_cnNetscapeRoot_cnldbm_database_cnplugins_cnconfig

The directory server also uses the operational attribute numSubordinates 
in a container node to specify the number of entries that are direct 
children of that container node - so I suppose you could also search for 
all of these and count them up.
