I would suspect that any port which performs any significant
functions, especially graphical functions, will need to be
rebuilt. It would be safer to just do what you suggested
and `portupgrade -af`.
As for libmap.conf, the format is basically:
oldlib newlib
so there would be a single like that looks like this:
libm.so.2 libm.so.3
However, I initially thought this wouldn't work. I thought
it only worked if the interfaces for the two libraries were
identical -- but if the interfaces were identical, why the
need for a library version bump? But several people have
suggested it so I guess it couldn't hurt.
