Your system has stale libraries from the updates and linking is messy. It does 
not adequately explain the .5.6 library version numbers, but your system is 
in need of cleaning.

Specifically, you forgot to do 'make delete-old-libs' when you upgraded from 6 
to 7 (and maybe from 5 to 6 as well,tho there's no evidence of that in this 
mail).

The best course of action is to go into /usr/src and type:
# make delete-old
# make delete-old-libs

Delete everything that the program offers you to delete. Then drop to single 
user mode, so that no services are running and recompile *all* ports, using 
portupgrade -fa. you may need to do /etc/rc.d/netif start, so you can 
download stuff.

I'm quite confident this will fix your problems, even tho it gives no 
explanation for this rogue ncurses library.

    and never get to the software part.
