Yes it should.  IIRC all that RFC does is define some new attributes and
objectclasses for the server, hence any LDAP server that supports
extending the schema should support the RFC.  The key part is not the
server setup, but the client setup.  You need to look at Section 5, and
in particular Section 5.1.

A good book on this topic is LDAP System Administration by Gerald
Carter:
