There are multiple ways to narrow your search.

  1. First one is to use pkg_libchk from sysutils/bsdadminscripts as it 
should list all packages missing any libraries. This is exactly your case.

  2. You generally can do almost the same by issuing "ldd -a 
/usr/local/lib/seamonkey/seamonkey-bin" and identifying port to rebuild 
by "pkg_info -W library_name".

3. You can rebuild only packages that require libpcre and was build 
before it. Here's how:

cd /var/db/pkg/pcre-*
cat +REQUIRED_BY | xargs -n1 -Ifoo find ../foo/+DESC \! -cnewer '+DESC' 
| sed -e 's|^\.\./||' -e 's|/+DESC$||'

/usr/local/lib/libplds4.so.1 is part of security/nspr but it doesn't 
link to libpcre. In turn /usr/local/lib/seamonkey/libxul.so depend on a 
lot off glib/gtk stuff that in turn depends on libpcre.
