slapcat your users to get a reference user. Then convert the reference user to the new user to add. use ldapadd to add the new user via LDIF.
Man useradd also suggests it can do it via LDAP:

SYNOPSIS
useradd [-D binddn] [-P path] [-c comment] [-d homedir]
[-e expire] [-f inactive] [-G group,...] [-g gid]
[-m [-k skeldir]] [-o] [-p password] [-u uid]
[-U umask] [-r] [-s shell] [--service service] [--help]
[--usage] [-v] [--preferred-uid uid] account


Regards,
Ulrich

slapadd?

Slapadd is used to add entries specified in LDAP Directory Interchange Format (LDIF) to a slapd(8) database. It opens the given database determined by the database number or suffix and adds entries corresponding to the provided LDIF to the database. The LDIF input is read from standard input or the specified file.

So make an LDIF file for your new user and inject with slapadd.
