 For the record. The problem was in math/atlas, which was installed
 when I used an optional dependence on it in some port (probably
 math/py-numpy). Later, I removed that option and deinstalled atlas,
 but many ports have some automatically set optional dependence on
 atlas if that is installed, therefore deleting math/atlas is not
 a trivial task... It might get installed again and again, and this
 is a POLA violation IMO.
 
 I recorded the list of all ports depending on atlas, then used
 pkg_delete -f atlas-\* , and then reinstalled all ports in the list
 removing the corresponding options file in /var/ports/ , this way
 atlas is cleaned away from my computer...
