I encountered something similar, some base shared library has changed, 
guess this is related with the ncurses changes in base.

If I remember correctly force reinstalling dialog4ports package fixed 
it. Make sure you reinstall a freshly rebuilt one.

Most probably anything using ncurses will require rebuild/reinstall.

The cause is dialog4ports failing to start and the system sees no option 
changed.

If that's not enough try

# ldd -v /usr/local/bin/dialog4ports

And see if it reports some useful information.
