Package itself doesn't contain crypto_drv driver:
---
$ pkg_info -L erlang | grep crypto_drv.so
$
---

The source of the problem seems to be invalid erlang's 
lib/crypto/c_src/Makefile.in file. It uses INSTALL_PROGRAM on Makefile file 
which fails, because strip program doesn't know how to strip text file. The 
rest of the rules are ignored (the ones responsible for installing the 
crypto_drv.so file).
>How-To-Repeat:
After successful 'make' run 'make install' in pkgsrc/lang/erlang directory and 
carefully watch the output for failures during install.
>Fix:
Add following part into pkgsrc's lang/erlang/Makefile:

SUBST_CLASSES+=         crypto
SUBST_STAGE.crypto=     pre-configure
SUBST_MESSAGE.crypto=   Fixing crypto driver makefile.
SUBST_FILES.crypto=     lib/crypto/c_src/Makefile.in
SUBST_SED.crypto=       -e 's|$$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) 
$$(DRV_MAKEFILE)|$$(INSTALL_DATA) $$(DRV_MAKEFILE)|'

and adjust PLIST file.
