Not really.  Remember, RHEL AS3 was a 2.4-based kernel while RHEL AS4 is
a 2.6-based kernel.  Lots of things changed there (the C libraries, the
directory structures, package contents, lots of stuff).  You may get it
to work, but it'll be a truly mucked up system.  If you absolutely must
have the latest openldap stuff, either upgrade to RHEL4 AS or download
the source tarball and build it from scratch.
