Can you please check if the SPIDERMONKEY option was enabled when your
package was built?
$ pkg info elinks | grep SPIDERMONKEY

It is disabled in the default configuration and therefore in the normal
FreeBSD package sets. You may need to compile that one from ports (or
better yet your own poudriere) and enable the SPIDERMONKEY option when you
do.

Regards,
Ben
