rather, tor restarts.. not reboots.  And to be clear, it was an
embarrassing 'fix' as I tweaked OS-level mitigations.

My brain is in OpenBSD ports/packages at the moment, but you're
installing from FreeBSD ports?

Remove the currently installed version of security/tor first.

Make sure the ports tree is updated, and that textproc/libxml2 is
installed if that's what it's barking about.

And note the announce that the new stable Tor release is coming this week.
