I dug into this a little to see what is up and I think I have found the issue.  To manually fix your problem, you need to disable the DHCP dictionary by commenting out this line:

$INCLUDE dictionary.dhcp

in /usr/local/share/freeradius/dictionary and remove /usr/local/etc/raddb/mods-enabled/dhcp file.

What is going on is that freeradius 3 default setup is with DHCP enabled and its default configuration is setup that way.  The port by default, disables building with DHCP (currently fails to build properly with DHCP support) but does not fix up the default configuration.
