I would suspect that any port which performs any significant 
functions, especially graphical functions, will need to be 
rebuilt.  It would be safer to just do what you suggested 
and `portupgrade -af`.

As for libmap.conf, the format is basically:

oldlib			newlib

so there would be a single like that looks like this:

libm.so.2		libm.so.3

However, I initially thought this wouldn't work.  I thought 
it only worked if the interfaces for the two libraries were 
identical -- but if the interfaces were identical, why the 
need for a library version bump?  But several people have 
suggested it so I guess it couldn't hurt.
