I decided to change mailing list from -stable to -x11 and -ports,
because those seem to be more relevant to the issue.

Someone already suggested portupgrade -fPP that would downgrade the port
to the latest version available through packages.
You can also try ports-mgmt/portdowngrade.

But I hope that our port would be upgraded to 2.1.12 promptly and that
that upgrade would help you with the problem introduced in 2.1.11.
