I'm not sure there's a global change going on - if so then I wouldn't recommend it.  On FreeBSD, -lpthread and -pthread are equivalent, so using sed to replace -lpthread with -pthread is redundant work and makes the port's Makefile more complicated.  The change should have made no difference to the generated package, but made the port simpler.  To my mind, this is a good thing.  If upstream uses -pthread or -lpthread, we should not change one to the other, we should just run with whatever they use.
