Looks like the base system update went OK.

It looks like all your problems are with *ports*.

After a major version update it is *strongly recommended* that you first
*delete* all ports/packages and then update your ports tree and re-install
them. This because of shared library version updates.

You can do this by making a list of all "leaf" packages (before deleting); packages that
have dependencies but are not depended on with this command:

    pkg query -e '%#r == 0' '%n-%v\t%o'

This will list the current package name and origin. Save that to a file and
keep it

After you've made this list, delete all packages and re-install all leaf
packages.
