If you do this, you need to make sure you're generating compatible
binaries.  In this case, you seem to be generating binaries that are
targetted for an older release than FreeBSD 6.0.  In order to run 5.x
binaries on FreeBSD 6.0, you need to install the compat5x port and
build with the corresponding kernel option.

Use the libchk port.

I'm guessing you are running an old 5.x binary from before the
removal.  A 6.0 binary of bacula indeed will not try to link to this
nonexistent library.
