The, as of last night, maintainer, Vsevolod Stakhov, of the
net/gnu-radius port OPTIONized, un-BROKEN'ed, and generally cleaned up
the port May 5.

As part of that commit, he added USE_LIBTOOL_VER=15 to the port
Makefile, which is where most of the ports tree seems to be headed.  If
I comment out that line in the Makefile, gnu-radius seems to build with
the included libtool 1.4.3.  The mysql module then works for me.
