Thank you for your input. I feel like this problem is too far over my head to be able to give adequate enough debugging. I am not against any alternative methods of resolving this (even removing and reinstalling ports) rather than fixing, I just don't want to have to jump into sysinstall or reinstall because i believe that is a soluion.
