libxml2 Port Blocking Upgrades

Hi all.

For the past week or so, an issue with the libxml2 port is preventing 
other ports from being upgraded.

This is the error I am getting on a number of boxes:

*****

The closest I can find to this issue is this PR:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=262853

Any idea of when this would make it into the ports, if it is, indeed, 
the issue?

Mark.
