There is no built-in way, because this is not a standardised config.

What format does the ldap expiration attribute have?

There's an "rlm_expiration" in CVS (and possibly >1.1.0) versions of the 
server. If your expiration attribute is a unix timestamp (seconds since 
1970) you could simply do this in ldap.attrmap:

checkItem Expiration myLdapExpiryAttribute

...alternatively you could use rlm_exec to do it - for example if you have:

dn: cn=username,blah
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
expiryDate: Wed 12 Jul 2006

...then in ldap.attrmap do this:

checkItem Expiration expiryDate

...and in radiusd.conf:

modules {
   exec expiry {
     wait = yes
     program = "/path/to/expiry.sh"
     input_pairs = config
     output_pairs = reply
   }
}

authorize {
   preprocess
   ldap
   expiry
   # maybe other stuff
}

...and make "expiry.sh" be this:

#!/bin/sh

EXPIRY_IN_LDAP=`date -d "$EXPIRATION" +%s`
NOW=`date +%s`

if [ $EXPIRY -lt $NOW ]
then
	echo "Auth-Type := Reject"
	echo "Reply-Message = \"Your account has expires\""
fi

This is untested, but I don't see why it shouldn't work.
