I've verified this on two machines recently, but it seems that
at least since the lite2 merge, "mc" seems broken. It mostly
works, but is prone to hanging, and will *always* hang when
type ^O to get to the background/pty shell. I tried both the
pre-compiled port, then building it fresh from sources (not that
I expected this to make a difference, but this was the road of
Least Effort<tm> :-)).

Before I waste a couple of hours looking into this, does anyone
have any ideas?  According to ps, it seems to be hung in "sbwait".

Yes, yes, "real programmers" don't need a wimpy shell, but mc
does some particular tasks very neatly and takes a lot less time
to type than a multiline commandline (namely renaming using
shell patterns).
