I ran into this myself. The best thing to do is rebuild all the ports
that depend on the icu port:

portupgrade -fr icu-3.8.1

That should rebuild all the things linking against libicui18n.so.36
and re-link them against the new libicu.

You could also do this manually with a small shell script to ldd
things in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/bin and identify things linked
against the old library and then use pkg_which to find which
packages they belong to, and portupgrade/re-install those.
