The primary way to recover from a problem with an upgrade is to restore your system from the backups that everyone should be taking.

If you deleted old libraries, then you've removed the shared libraries older 6.x binaries from ports want.  You can probably fix this by installing /usr/ports/misc/compat6x; however, it is better to reinstall all of your installed ports in order to relink against the new 7.x system libraries.
