As you upgrade the ports they will link against the new verson of the 
libraries, once you're certain you dont need them any more you can just 
pkg_delete the compat6x package.   You can use something like pkg_libchk 
from the sysutils/bsdadminscripts to look check whats still compiled 
againt the compat libs.
