Note the dependency for  lame-3.99.5_1 in the list below:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=openshot&stype=all&sektion=all

Below shows some pertinent info:

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/audio/lame/pkg-plist?revision=354227&view=markup

Looks like you need to install lame:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=^lame-3.99.5_1&stype=name

You can also look at the binary by cd /path/to and ldd whateverbinary. This
will tell you what libs it was built against.
