The correct plist to use is the one in /Library/LaunchDaemons.

You also need to use "sudo" to launch the service as root.

I usually use the -w flag to launchctl, like this:

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.slapd.plist

 From the launchctl manpage:

               -w       Remove the disabled key and write the  
configuration files back out to disk.
