After updated to a new major version of FreeBSD (6->7, not 6.2->6.3) is
to make a list of all ports, remove them all with pkg_delete and install
them from scratch.

That is the only sure way to prevent programs linking to older libraries.

And while your at it, it would be a good idea to clean out the old cruft
from (/usr)/lib as well.
