cd /pri/FreeBSD/releases/current/ports		# or eg cd /usr/ports 
find . -type f -name pkg-plist | xargs grep sbin/apxs


+ There's useful progs here:
	cd /usr/sbin ; echo *pkg*
	pkg_add pkg_create pkg_delete pkg_info pkg_updating pkg_version
with man command for those, 

+ exploration in /var/db/pkg you'll be able to analyse & solve it all.
PS if you start having problems with libs too, try eg ldconfig -R
