I got the following response from freebsd-current list --

For me rebuilding sysutils/hal also solved the problem. If smartmontools
has the same issue then there may be a common denominator with tools
that want to talk to devices.

I didn't see this repeated going from ALPHA5 to BETA2

So the issue presents itself if you for example install 10.0-ALPHA2 then
install ports and update the system to 10.0-BETA2. I expect the same
thing may happen if you install 10.0-BETA over an older system with
ports already installed.
