Hello Choy,

With libmap.conf, you're basically telling the system: instead of 
using this lib.x.old use this lib.x.new.

Take a look a man libmap.conf for an explanation.

an example of what could go in libmap.conf for this would be:
 # for FreeBSD5.3 beta7
 libm.so.2  libm.so.3
 libreadline.so.4 libreadline.so.5
 libhistory.so.4  libhistory.so.5
 libopie.so.2  libopie.so.3
 libpcap.so.2  libpcap.so.3
