Thanks, that just occurred to me this morning.  I had installed it as
a package instead of compiling the port, and it never occurred to me
that vorbis wouldn't be included.  I'll just compile the port for the
plugins now.  I think I'll submit a PR suggesting that it is common
enough that it should be included by default.
