Someone who sells themselves into perpetual servitude is a slave. Such slavery is forbidden by the 13th Amendment, but is consistent with Libertarianism and its mutations. Such slavery is forbidden by the 13th Amendment, but is consistent with Libertarianism and its mutations.

servitude: State of subjection to an owner or master or forced labor imposed as punishment

subjection: 1) Forced submission to control by others 2) The act of conquering

I don't trust you not to make up your own mutations so just provide the quote and URL from the Libertarian platform that supports your argument that perpetual servitude is consistent with the Libertarian platform.
