takes several minutes for the application to open, and become usable. 
The only changes that I have made on this system was that I CVSuped and 
updated my system.

Dear Victor Cardona,

I am afraid you have to run portmap(8) in order to make Wordperfect 8 
work properly. If you wish to enable portmap at boot time, you'll find 
the magic line (portmap_enable="YES") in rc.conf(5).

IIRC, I posted my own woes (subsequently followed by a solution) a few 
weeks ago.

HTH,
Salvo
