Not sure, it looks like plex media server is a closed source proprietary 
program. Are they using their own libc for some sort of DRM scheme? Not 
sure how that works with GNU software, maybe they wrote their own 
closed-source libc?
does /usr/local/share/plexmediaserver/libc.so.7 exist? maybe you need to 
use the FreeBSD libc in the compatibility libraries...

Anyway the ports Makefile shows their binary files are compiled for 
FreeBSD 9 , and uses the libstdc++ in 
${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/libstdc++.so.6 but no mention of libc.
