When I upgraded to RC4, DNS stopped working - no application was picking up UDP/53 and I couldn't figure out why. After much troubleshooting and some IRC with Scott, we concluded that the culprit was the dns-server package I had installed a while ago but deinstalled. Even after manually uninstalling that and its dependencies, however, I found that DNS still wasn't starting - something was bound to TCP/53 and dnsmasq refused tot start. After much digging (which would have been greatly shortened had I been aware of a utility in FreeBSD that provides precisely the same info as 'netstat -taupe' does in Linux), I remembered that I had at one point configured OpenVPN to listen on port 53 in order to pass through certain firewalls more easily.
Lesson learned: assume your services all bind to 0.0.0.0 rather than given interfaces. It would have certainly saved me several hours of troubleshooting.
