Oh, right. Sorry, there are too many issues for my tiny brain to keep
track of.

Aha. That rings a bell. I do run a 32 bit kernel, but a while back, I
experimented for a short while with a 64 bit kernel. I had to give it
up because there were some applications I need that won't run on a 64
bit kernel. I wonder if I did any port upgrades during the 64 bit
period? That would explain my troubles, then. I have kept a careful
log of all my port upgrade activities, but of course I haven't made a
note of when my 64 bit kernel experiment started and stopped.

Is there an easy way to find out what, if any, ports were built under
a 64 bit kernel? If not, maybe I really need to blow away my entire
ports tree and rebuild. (Ouch.)
