>Description:
With an existing (working) install of libpng, it seems that the make test step of updating will fail. I think this is because make test ends up using (partly?) components of what is already installed, rather than just what has been built, ending up in a version mismatch situation. Some additional details can be found here:

I typically use portmaster when installing/updating ports.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install graphics/png at one version, then update the package after a newer version has become available.
>Fix:
Remove the installed libpng, before "updating" to the newer version: `pkg delete -f graphics/png`
