There was a (oops) in some of the rig xml files on the fldigi website at the time of the 3.10 release. It was corrected quickly but you may have a rig.xml that was missing the <port></port> tags. I have been using Fldigi with FT857D & 897D both without a problem. Try the FT857D.xml from Dave's website.
If running Linux, be sure to use either Hamlib 1.2.7 or compile a snapshot from the CVN as Hamlib 1.2.8 wouldn't work right for me until some issues were worked out.
