It had happened to me too (on most recent STABLE-5.4 with up-to-date ports).
Do you have a perl-threaded instead of the normal one ?

I don't know why but this worked around the problem for me:

	cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/metacity/work/metacity-2.10.1/src
	env LD_LIBMAP="libpthread.so.1=liblthread.so" gmake
	# note that libthr also failed and libc_r didn't have all
	# required symbols.
	# then manually finish the installation
	cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/metacity
	make
	pkg_deinstall -f metacity-2\*
	make package clean
	pkgdb -fF
	
Maybe there is a bug in freebsd threading libs ?
