IIUC correctly, the libraries you are complaining about are from *ports* 
and not the base system, so the version of FreeBSD is irrelevant.

Why not look to see how *other* ports which use libgdk do things?  You 
might find more help on the ports mailing list.

For your pre-compiled binary would libmap.conf help?  For a src port, I 
would bet that there's already a "right way to do it" that gets around 
your problem, even if it's just some ifdefs or similar in the Makefile.
