You build ports on top of a working base. Now your foundation, aka the base 
has gone wrong. What you got to do is to get the base working again. 

Actually the first thing you should try is, to compile the base and the 
kernel (buildworld, buildkernel, etc) and install them properly. Check every 
stage complete without any error. If you can reinstall your base without any 
error, your base is working. Then you can rebuild your ports. 

If you cannot, recompile your base, ie. if errors develops, then copy 
necessary libs, etc. from the live CD till your recompile the base completes 
without errors.

This is your last option.
