OK, I've made a little headway here.  At least, I've managed to get
cdrtools to work once again, after rebuilding/installing the port and
setting the default device to the SCSI address (1,0,0) of cd0 instead
of the device name.  Grip is now working with cdda2wav.
Hallelujah!  :-)

Still can't seem to get plain old audio CD playback working with
anything, though.  :-(
