I had the same problem a while back. By using ifhp-3.4.2 (I don't know if that's the latest version, but it was when I was in your shoes) the problem whent away. I installed it in an ugly way. In the file /usr/ports/print/ifhp i changed the line PORTVERSION= 3.3.10 to PORTVERSION= 3.4.2 did a make install, and all was well ;) It's not a recomended way of doing it, but it did work..
