A few people have been reporting problems with programs that link against
OpenLDAP after a recent upgrade.  I had a cascade of failures until I
temporarily removed the "ldap" entries from /etc/nsswitch.conf.  If your
portupgrade -arR upgraded OpenLDAP, then you may be bitten by the same bug.

For an example, see:

I'm currently gathering information to submit more detailed debugging
information.
