Something on your system links against libintl.so.5, and it would be
one of the normal dependencies of apsfilter, but it wasn't installed
as a port or pkg, so the ports system doesn't know how to update it?
Possibly.

No -- I think something this obvious would have been noticed and fixed
in pretty short order.  Dollars to doughnuts it's something specific
to your machine which is causing the problem.
