Interesting. I haven't done anything other than this:
- installing FreeBSD
- upgrading FreeBSD (binary upgrade)
- installing ports

Let's have a look:
root at kg-g4# ll /usr/lib/libpth*
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  300312 Jan  7 12:28 /usr/lib/libpthread.a
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel      20 Jan 14 22:22 /usr/lib/libpthread.so@ -> /lib/libpthread.so.2
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  144876 Nov  5  2005 /usr/lib/libpthread.so.2
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  324420 Jul 31 16:07 /usr/lib/libpthread_p.a
root at kg-g4# pkg_info -W /usr/lib/libpthread.so.2
(no outpu)

Hmm, perhaps this file (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.2) wasn't upgraded?
I will have to check the install CD, if there is a newer file on it.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
