Compiled successfully on amd64. Everything seems to be working like a charm.

So far tested are audio/moc, irc/weechat, mail/mutt-devel, all of those had 
problems when compiled with devel/ncurses port (moc would show some 
characters incorrectly, weechat shows only garbage, mutt coredumps).

One thing worth mentioning - make -DNO_CLEAN buildworld fails, and removing 
contents of /usr/obj and building world from scratch helped.

Thank you for working on this update!
