The last entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING regarding libffi is
20130128:
   AFFECTS: users of libffi
   AUTHOR jkim at FreeBSD.org

   libffi has been updated to 3.0.11.  Please rebuild all ports that
   depends on it:

   If you use portmaster:
         portmaster -w -r libffi
   If you use portupgrade:
         portupgrade -fr devel/libffi
   If you use pkgng with binary packages:
         pkg install -fR devel/libffi

I don't recall even having libffi at that time, nor have I had problem 
until now, though this problem wouldn't be solved by the update 
instructions above.
