Yes, this is a known problem with the isakmpd build code which I
unfortunately haven't gotten around to fixing.  AFAIR it also fails
with German locale.  I suspect the simple fix is to set LC_ALL=C in
the build environment for the port.

Without having looked at the details, I think it's more likely that
the isakmpd build scripts misuses tr/awk, e.g. doing something like
'tr [a-z] [A-Z] ' to upper case a string (should be 'tr [:lower:]
[:upper:]').
