No.

The best solution is to create an objectclass, descended from officePerson, and
add any site specific attributes you have.  You can do it under OID 1.1.x since
your just experimenting.

Also take a look at the evolutionPerson objectclass, it provides alot of
ancillary stuff.

I believe there is an alias mechanism, but I can't recall off hand where I saw
the documentation.  And it may be extinct in 2.1.x

Absolutely.
