Thanks Kris, that's what I did. 
for each of the messages that I got showing :

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libpthread.so.2, needed by /usr/local/lib/libicui18n.so.36, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link

or similar, i did

pkg_info -W {Library}

( in this case /usr/local/lib/libicui18n.so.36 , which pointed to icu), and rebuilt the package.

It seems I must have used portinstall -pP instead of -p in a couple of places and managed to confuse the heck of my system.

Everything seems to be building ok so far :)

thanks so much for the pointer!
