It looks like that is explicitly disabled in the default build, probably 
because including it would pull in additional dependencies on ldap 
libraries.  It's too bad that the pre-built packages can't be provided 
with a more complete configuration, but it looks like you'll need to 
build it yourself.  Fortunately, that should be fairly easy if time 
consuming, probably something like:
  tar --xz -xpf pkgsrc.tar.xz
  cd pkgsrc/net/samba4
  make PKG_OPTIONS.samba4=ads install
