Cleaning up multiplicates in elf ldconfig path

I am on FreeBSD/i386 6.4-STABLE (around Mar 1, 2009). I failed to
find a solution to the (cosmetic) problem of ldconfig path having
duplicate directories (dmesg output wrapped for this email) ...
ELF ldconfig path: /lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat \
/usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib \
/misc/local/lib/compat \
/misc/local/lib/gcc-4.2.4 \
/misc/local/lib/gcc-4.3.3 \
/misc/local/lib/gegl-0.0 \
/misc/local/lib/gnash \
/misc/local/lib/graphviz \
/misc/local/lib/nss \
/misc/local/lib/qt4 \
/misc/local/lib/zsh \
/misc/local/lib/compat
/misc/local/lib/gcc-4.2.4 \
/misc/local/lib/gcc-4.3.3 \
/misc/local/lib/gegl-0.0 \
/misc/local/lib/gnash \
/misc/local/lib/graphviz \
/misc/local/lib/nss \
/misc/local/lib/qt4 \
/misc/local/lib/zsh
Note that /usr/X11R6 & /usr/local are symbolic links to /misc/local.
Is that what is causing the "problem" (since /etc/rc.d/ldconfig
reads the default paths of both /usr/X11R6/lib & /usr/local/lib)?
If so, is it ok to eliminate the /usr/X11R6 symbolic link? And/Or,
is there any other way to remove the multiplicates? I suppose I
could stick in /etc/rc.conf this ...
ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib/compat /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/compat/package"
... but then I would have make sure above does not miss any new
paths added to /etc/defaults/rc.conf. Opinions or suggestions?
