best practice is to test upgrades before applying them to production  :)

it could be that memcache and php got out of sync with the php modules. try rebuilding all the php modules ( portupgrade -fp php-* ) . the -p will make binary packages after installing the ports

- have you kept packages of the previously installed versions? you an use them to revert back
- you can try to move the ports tree back to before those upgrades happened, and force a downgrade to those versions.

i still think the fastest way is to rebuild php*

good luck,
