Thanks for the answer. I went ahead & did a
make -DDISABLE_VULNERABILITIES install clean
in /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrdao. After that, k3b
installed without any problem. I cvsup ports on
a regular basis, & also watch the cvs mailing
list.  Hopefully, before too long, the port
maintainer will fix the problem with cdrdao.
I ran into the same thing last month with ruby.
Just didn't have much of a handle on how long
fixes usually take to show up in the src or
ports tree once they're done.  Thanks again.
