You need to recompile Alpine to make this work.

Look at the file alpine/ldapconf.c, there is a piece of code that reads:

    server_var.name       = cpystr("ldap-server");
    server_var.is_used    = 1;
    server_var.is_user    = 1;
    apval = APVAL(&server_var, ew);
    *apval = (def && def->serv && def->serv[0]) ? cpystr(def->serv) : NULL;
    set_current_val(&server_var, FALSE, FALSE);

replace the last 

    set_current_val(&server_var, FALSE, FALSE);

by

    set_current_val(&server_var, TRUE, FALSE);

and that should solve your issue. That "TRUE" makes Alpine expand 
environment variables for that variable.

  I did not try this, but it should work.
