Did you read /usr/ports/UPDATING entry 20090123?

  AFFECTS: users of x11/libxcb
  AUTHOR: flz at FreeBSD.org

  Libxcb shared library version was bumped from 1 to 2.  You need to
  rebuild any consumer of libxcb.so.1 or some applications will be
  linked against two versions of libxcb once libX11 is upgraded.

  For portupgrade users:

    # portupgrade -rf libxcb
