That port is borked, here's what you have to do to get it working:
## Workaround for broken port linuxpluginwrapper.
## Before building linuxpluginwrapper:
rm -R /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins
ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins
## Build linuxpluginwrapper:
cd /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper
make -DWITH_PLUGINS install clean
## or upgrade:
portupgrade -vm -DWITH_PLUGINS linuxpluginwrapper
## Remove symlink (will break Mozilla).
rm -rf /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins
## Fix acroread:
rm -rf /usr/local/bin/acroread # If upgrade.
mv /usr/local/bin/acroread7 /usr/local/bin/acroread
rm -rf /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nppdf.so
ln
-s /usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nppdf.so
## Change path to nppdf.so in /etc/libmap.conf:
# Acrobat7 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany/Konqueror
[/usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so]
libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/acrobat.so
## Acroread now works properly in browser.
## Helix plugin does not work with Firefox or Mozilla at this time.
## Flash 6.0 works without modification.
## Flash7 is VERY unstable and will crash Firefox (possibly Mozilla).
## Launch browser and type "about:plugins" without the quotes to check that
plugins are enabled.
