Yes. 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..

Good luck
