Why will avatars not upload on my server?

This could be a number of things, but make sure you have the GD image library installed.   It might also be permissions, so make sure the web server has correct permissions.

Can BuddyPress authenticate via LDAP?

Yes. You will need to install a WordPress LDAP login plugin first of all though, then add define( 'BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE', true ); to your wp-config.php file.
