I tried running the service as root with the same results below, so I
don't think this is a permissions issue, especially since I am
attempting to run this straight from a standard emerge with no
customizations beyond what was given in the guide.

Here is the latest:

hdb_db_open: warning - no DB_CONFIG file found in directory
/var/lib/openldap-data: (2).
Expect poor performance for suffix "dc=XXXXXXXXX,dc=XXX".
hdb_db_open: database "dc=XXXXXXXXX,dc=XXX":
db_open(/var/lib/openldap-data/id2entry.bdb) failed: No such file or
directory (2).
backend_startup_one (type=hdb, suffix="dc=XXXXXXXXX,dc=XXX"):
bi_db_open failed! (2)
slap_startup failed (test would succeed using the -u switch)
