This should be relatively easy to test, try it with portupgrade/portmanager instead on the same ports tree.

You'll probably get better help on freebsd-ports@ although there are people on this list that can help but list activity is low right now. Anyway I also see there a recent entry in UPDATING about libltdl. -- Adam Vande More
