I have submitted a PR about ncurses port itself. It seems any port that depends on ncurses fails to build, not just weechat.
See https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191614
Comment 4 Kubilay Kocak freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-07-31 12:48:41 UTC 
Dependent bug 191614 has now been resolved, can you please confirm this address the issue reported here.

Thank you also for following up and creating a separate report
Comment 5 kritek 2014-07-31 21:20:28 UTC 
weechat built successfully against latest ncurses update, thanks.
