I had a look and the full build log says:

  ImportError: This platform lacks a functioning sem_open implementation, therefore, the required synchronization primitives needed will not function, see issue 3770.

So it seems something in the Python support of kfreebsd-amd64 has
changed and it might make sense to ask ftpmaster to remove this as well.

I'd be happy if you would re-check and contact ftpmaster.  If you
want me to contact ftpmaster please tell me to do so.

Kind regards

    Andreas.
