Recompiling of ports is only needed when the port (the program) 
is statically linked and those includes the libraries. Usually 
program binaries are dynamically linked to the libraries, so a 
program loads the library when they are needed. In this case the 
reboot takes care of the running daemons / programs to use the 
new build of libc.
