Has been a while since I looked at OID though. Should be pretty straight forward from what I can remember. Just give it a try and move your schema over and see.

Just create the schema on ApacheDS, then export and import the entries as LDIFs.

Just figure out what the syntax and matching rules are on OID and add them to ApacheDS. You should be good to go.

Then you have portability across standards compliant LDAP servers. ApacheDS is certified for LDAPv3: http://directory.apache.org/community%26resources/open-group-certification.html So it's guaranteed to interoperate with other standards compliant servers. HTH, Alex
