You will need to install libchk from ports. After that:

libchk | grep '^Unresolvable' | sed 's|.* in: ||' | xargs -n1 pkg_info 
-W | sed 's|.*by package ||' | sort -u | grep -v '^[?]$' > rebuild

You'll get 'rebuild' file listing all packages with broken binaries. You 
can use portmaster or portupgrade on it.
