There were some issues with a library upgrade at some point, it was
awhile ago, and the details are hazy.

(Please note that I am a different Scott and far less knowledgeable than
Mr. Long, but I have a need for Japanese and got bitten by this.)

There is a port, /usr/misc/localedata that was designed to fix this
problem.  In your shell's rc file you add

PATH_LOCALE=/usr/local/share/compat/locale; export PATH_LOCAL

(That's for a Bourne style shell, I am not sure of the csh syntax.)

That should solve the problem.  As your ports are gradually upgraded,
the problem should disappear.  (Or you can always do a portupgrade -af,
which might not be a bad idea, as some other libraries have changed.)
