I was actually more confused than I thought. When I got this error:

I carefully inspected the logs and determined that what this really
meant was that ldirectord couldn't find the config file (it was in a
different place than it was expecting to find it). So I was actually
able to copy over the ldirectord script from another system and get an
ldirectord resource to start, once I put the config file in the correct
place and created an IPAddr resource for the virtual service address.
Running "ipvsadm" shows that it is working as expected (the virtual and
real servers are correctly reported) and "ifconfig" shows that the
virtual service address is present. But when I try to connect to the
virtual service, I get "connection refused" although I can connect to
the real servers just fine. This is a problem that is most likely
outside the HA software and hopefully I will be able to solve it (I did
check firewall rules first).

I still would like to find a solution to the original question though
(how to install an ldirectord package), just for the purposes of making
it easier to keep things updated going forward.
