Can't help specifically with a Jabber server, but I have noticed that 
pkgsrc often has blanket updates for dependencies such as Perl and 
Lua, etc. So anything that requires Lua will get updated to require 
the latest version, etc. And this then determines how the binaries are 
built.

I had a similar issue with Elinks which says it requires 5.2, but the 
lua integration only works with 5.1. To solve this problem I set 
LUA_VERSION_DEFAULT=51 in mk.conf and then built it from source.

However, saying all that, on pkgsrc it says prosody now requires 
lua51. Looks like some kind of fix was made in mid 2014. Perhaps the 
binaries were built before then?

Could you try building from source?
