You can't just add in /etc/make.conf. You have to edit in
evolution/Makefile. If you want to get make.conf works, it will need to be
add ${LDFLAGS} like this:
===================================
CONFIGURE_ENV= CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L${LOCALBASE}/lib ${LDFLAGS}"
===================================
Then add in make.conf:
===================================
LDFLAGS=-Wl,--as-needed
===================================
I haven't test it, but it should works.

We have a hack for library version too, it's in Mk/bsd.gnome.mk called
ltverhack. Near all of our ports (maintain by gnome) are using it, it
helps a lot for upgrade just like with Gentoo. But you said that Gentoo
get to use x.y.z and we just get to use correct ABI number. You can see
the difference:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/x11/libgnome/pkg-plist.diff?r1=1.59;r2=1.60
-lib/libgnome-2.so.1000
+lib/libgnome-2.so.0
