You can use this script 
http://www.directory.fedora.redhat.com/download/ol-schema-migrate.pl
found on this page 
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:OpenLDAPMigration
to convert .schema files to .ldif schema files. e.g.
perl ol-schema-migrate.pl solaris.schema > 
slapd-myhost/config/schema/61solaris.ldif
Then restart slapd
