I've been running it for quite some time. In fact, I'm running it now
to view and print PDF documents. My system was updated on the
yesterday - the 22nd. It was also updated the 15th, and I probably
used it at least once in the interim.

Upgrading the system won't update the port, unless you're updating the
ports tree at the same time.

Did you change anything else while doing the update? Kernel, maybe?
Did you reinstall acroread at some point?
