Please read this document:

  http://anthesphoria.net/FreeBSD/TeXLive-2011/bin/README.txt

TeX Live FreeBSD binaries are a compromise between portability and
easiness to resolve problems in cases such as yours.

We did a lot of work over the last 3 years (minimalistic compiler
options, customised perl binaries/libs...) to reduce the number of
shared libraries dependencies as much as possible. The result: the
installer, package manager and ca. 350 non-graphic utilities work for
all FreeBSD>=7. If you use asymptote, xdvi or xindy (compiled with
clisp) on FreeBSD>7, simply install misc/compat7. 

Best,
Nikola (maintainer of TeX Live for FreeBSD)
