Have you recently diffed the actual running config files?  From the
sidelines, it sounds like a change may have been made and forgotten, or
made by another admin which could be causing issues.  I know that often
when I start thinking, "Nothing is different the software is broken!"
something is different.

Important files off the top of my head:

/etc/defaults/rc.conf
/etc/rc.conf
/etc/rc.local

/etc/namedb/named.conf (and friends)

/usr/local/etc/whatever_rbldnsd_uses 

pkg_info | egrep '(rbldns|named)'  and then diff that output.

maybe diff the "ifconfig -a" output between the two boxes and verify the 
expected differences.

I think more details might actually translate to less clutter on the
-stable list, even if it turns out to be ports related.
