As far as I know, named never supported or needed xml. I would check if this 
really is named and for rootkits while you're at it. Either that, or you have 
LDFLAGS set in your /etc/make.conf that make everything link with these 
libraries.
Backup data and configs and reinstall from CD if you can't find a sane answer 
for this.

No, it's from compat4x. Linux would be in /compat/linux/lib.
