Hmmm...last straw:
find /usr/local -name '*.la' -exec grep -- '-llthread' {} +

To explain: something guile needs is built with linux-threads yet this is not 
correctly handled and the resulting binaries are flawed, most likely because 
another library that guile needs uses FreeBSD native threads.

On FreeBSD threaded linking is done with -pthread linker flag which pulls in 
the correct threading library (on 7.0 and above libthr, on 6.x and earlier 
libpthread).
