Oddly enough, after doing a  pkg_delete -dfv clamav\* (I'm in bash) and then
doing 'portinstall -N clamav' (I already have the config I use so no need
for make config), clamd has now started fine.

PS: Torok - supposed I had to proceed with debug, would the following yield

       ulimit -c unlimited
       gdb -args /usr/local/sbin/clamd
       >run
       >bt full
