That's from the compat5x port/package.  You can use the pkg_which
command to determine which ports files in /usr/local/* came from.

That's from the GNU "pth" port, which is a userland thread library
similar to libc_r.  It's tucked away in its own subdirectory so only
ports that explicitly look for it will use it.

That's a libpthread.so.1 from when your system was running 5.*.  6.*
and later put critical shared libs in /lib, so you should see a
/lib/libpthread.so.2 file there.
