You can see commits for this file on all branches (specifically RELENG_7
and RELENG_8) here:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/csh.cshrc

I spent some time looking through all the annotations during each
commit: I see no evidence that an LD_LIBRARY_PATH override was ever
added to that file at any time.  Furthermore, on FreeBSD, system-wide
changes like this tend to get applied in a much more reliable way
(global yet shell-independent): via ldconfig(8).

I have no explanation for how said line got added to /etc/csh.cshrc or
src/etc/csh.cshrc for you.  Possibly a port, or a mistake by an
administrator, did this.  And if a port did it, it shouldn't have; it
should have used ldconfig(8) to do things correctly.
