My guess is that your binaries were compiled for 10.X, but 11.0 overwrote the
required shared libraries, so now the old binaries cannot find them.

Do core utilities (ls/cd/man and such) work?

Try upgrading all of your packages after your install the kernel and reboot,
but before you install the world (userland). It doesn't look like you did that,
judging by your message.

I am not sure that blindly extracting base into your FS would really fix things.

You *may* be able to get away with fixing pkg and upgrading your system as it
is now.
Otherwise, I am certain that rebuilding all installed packages from ports would
fix things.
